There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old, and the same today as it has ever been. The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way.

  • -- Christopher Alexander 克里斯托弗·亚历山大

有一种永恒的建筑方式。它已经有一千年的历史了,今天和过去一样。过去伟大的传统建筑,村庄,帐篷和寺庙,让人有宾至如归的感觉,总是由离这条路很近的人建造的。
