I love Cristopher Alexander, the nature of order and his other books are like they are sent from the future. However 'A Pattern Language' is a nice way to say 'Algebra' and I don't think that he would disagree that he is just passing on a translation of something he was taught himself.

The narrative 'Father of..' feels too pedestal-y for such a humble man.
