David is an assistant professor in the Department of Architecture at Syracuse University.<\/p>\n<p>Theirs is the first book on the topic since Christopher Alexander\u2019s groundbreaking \u201cPattern Language\u201d in the late 1960s. For the book\u2019s foreword they\u2019ve recruited Sanford Kwinter, who refers back to Spinoza on the topic: \u201cPattern (like Spinoza\u2019s \u201cNature\u201d) appears as the one Substance whose two inseparable Attributes are, on the one hand, MATTER and on the other, THOUGHT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The book is boldly designed and visually punctuated by art director David Carson, who\u2019s also the designer for a re-issue of Marshall McLuhan\u2019s \u201cThe Book of Probes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In four chapters, the authors of \u201cthe Architecture of Patterns\u201d provide an updated definition of patterns \u2013 one that\u2019s at once precise and expansive. \u201cNo one really has a definition for patterns,\u201d Paul said. \u201cThere\u2019s been no criteria for judgement, and we\u2019re trying to supply that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on 40 years of pattern theory in various fields and the work of a diverse group of architects, this book speculates on patterns\u2019 emerging organizational and aesthetic potential.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate the authors\u2019 points, the book uses projects by Atelier Manferdini, Bjarke Ingels Group, Ciro Najle, EMERGENT\/Thomas Wiscombe, Foreign Offic Architects, Heather Roberge, Herzog and de Meuron, J. Mayer H. Architects, Jason Payne, Reiser + Umemoto, Responsive Systems Group, and Indie Architecture.<\/p>\n<p>Published by W.W.
