I wanted to share a website and some information I came across during my thesis research and exploration. I was reading Kuntler’s The Geography of Nowhere last night and came across the idea of “pattern language.” Pattern language is the idea that everything within our man-made built environment should have a connecting relationship to the objects around it and should not exist simply as stand along objects in space. This is an underlying theme that I feel I have been exploring from the start the intensive. Linking space and providing connections between buildings in which there is no clear physical relationship is interesting to me. Architecture and design are the tools with which to create these connections and I think pattern language is a good place to start exploring.
Anyway, I wanted to share this information with everyone. Reading Nellie’s blog post about the Aalto’s hospital got me thinking about pattern language and the connections/transitions between space and objects. Mary might find this useful too.
