    Christopher Alexander's principles put into practice
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 1999*

If, after reading Christopher Alexander's earlier books, you were wondering if he ever actually built a house in the real world, here's your answer.  Yes, he did.  Yes, the people owning the houses love the results.  Yes, they feel the special connection with their homes that is the hallmark  of Alexander's ideas.  No, the powers that be, who agreed to temporarily  suspend building codes for his project, were not happy with the results.  Why?  Because they look funny, and because he built five homes instead of  five hundred.  Well, if they'd read his other books, they would not have  been surprised.  Our intrepid hero is quite unsparing of himself - you can  see his delight as his ideas work, and his horror when they don't.I  believe that Christopher Alexander is dead on in saying that the system he  created is a better way to build homes, indeed a far superior way to do so.  However, I can't say the official reaction to this project is encouraging.  After the first five homes were built, the bureaucrats came in, stopped  the project and sent our intrepid hero packing. You can tell from the  ending of the book that this reaction spooked Alexander, and I can't blame  him. A revolutionary system of construction, he says, antagonizes pretty  much everyone.  But it will triumph, he proclaims!It looks like it  didn't, but I see increasing awareness of his ideas in more recent  architectural books, so hopefully all is not lost. Despite the ultimate  outcome, this is a brilliant book from an inspired thinker.  You probably  want to start with The Timeless Way of Building and A Pattern Language  before tackling this one, but if you liked his earlier works, this is an  excellent, real-world counterpoint.

    The Production of Houses a book beyond its time
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 9, 2012*

FIRST published in 1985 it is the fourth volume of a series. It tells of a Mexican project, and like its pre-published volumes, discusses a philosophy as well as management and construction issues. While costs may have dated over the past 27 years it remains relevant to any younger Architect interested in the genuine serch for function and beauty.
