The 10 essential Patterns of Home

Here is a very interesting Design and planning tool. It is a condensed and more accessible version of the Pattern Language of Chris Alexander. (LINK to REVIEW of this book at middle of page)



Patterns of Home

[Amanda_931]

Jacobson was one of the co-authors on A Pattern Language.

I think I have--and don't particularly like another book by him (and at least one more co-author from the Alexander book), something about contrast in design--too many pictures of expensive houses, well, that his firm had designed.  

On the other hand, I think I read something he wrote that was published on another list that sounds more like this book, and IIRC was nice and is unavailable today because the archives went bye-bye when they changed hosting agencies.
