Not sure how well known Christopher Alexander’s books (from 1970s) are in these circles, but his ideas are very related: ”At the core […] is the idea people should design their homes, streets, and communities. This idea […] comes from the observation most of the wonderful places of the world were not made by architects, but by the people.” I originally ran into the books as he was called as the father of design patterns. In the books he has collected design patterns for houses and cities. At least couple of years ago books were also available in Amazon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Pattern_Language |
