商品描述

The theory of architecture implicit in our world today, Christopher Alexander believes, is bankrupt. More and more people are aware that something is deeply wrong. Yet the power of present-day ideas is so great that many feel uncomfortable, even afraid, to say openly that they dislike what is happening, because they are afraid to seem foolish, afraid perhaps that they will be laughed at.

Now, at last, there is a coherent theory which describes in modern terms an architecture as ancient as human society itself.

The Timeless Way of Building is the introductory volume in the Center for Environmental Structure series, Christopher Alexander presents in it a new theory of architecture, building, and planning which has at its core that age-old process by which the people of a society have always pulled the order of their world from their own being.

Alexander writes, "There is one timeless way of building. It is thousands of years old, and the same today as it has always 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. And as you will see, this way will lead anyone who looks for it to buildings which are themselves as ancient in their form as the trees and hills, and as our faces are."

商品描述(中文翻譯)

建築學的理論在我們今天的世界中已經破產了,克里斯多福·亞歷山大相信。越來越多的人意識到有些事情出了大問題。然而,現今的觀念力量如此強大,以至於許多人感到不舒服,甚至害怕公開表示他們不喜歡正在發生的事情,因為他們害怕顯得愚蠢,或許害怕被嘲笑。

現在,終於有一個有條理的理論以現代的方式描述了一種與人類社會本身一樣古老的建築。

《建築的永恆之道》是環境結構中心系列的入門卷,克里斯多福·亞歷山大在其中提出了一個新的建築、建造和規劃理論,其核心是社會中的人們一直從自身存在中提取世界秩序的古老過程。

亞歷山大寫道:“建築有一種永恆的方式。它已有數千年的歷史,今天與過去一樣。過去偉大的傳統建築,人們感到如家的村莊、帳篷和寺廟,總是由那些非常接近這種方式核心的人們建造的。正如你將看到的,這種方式將引導任何尋找它的人到達建築物,這些建築物在形式上像樹木和山丘一樣古老,也像我們的臉一樣古老。”
