The more living patterns there are in a place - a room, a building, or a town - the more it comes to life as an entirety, the more it glows, the more it has that self-maintaining fire which is the quality without a name.

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

一个地方——一个房间、一座建筑或一座城镇——的生活模式越多,它作为一个整体就越有生命力,它发出的光芒越多,它就越有自我维持的火焰,这是一种没有名字的品质。
