Why, really? Each pattern is barely a page or two long (well, with a picture it spills over). The point is already to be brief, but also provide some context. Just reading one lets you muse on the concept and see if it fits with gig. The same technique was used in The Society of Mind for the same reason.

I know you put work in, but your site is essentially a listicle, basically missing the purpose.

Christopher Alexander was very influential on the construction of our house, such as the recommendation against corridors and having any passages become living space.

Because the titles don’t always reflect the insight of the pattern so if you just have that tiny entry you can misunderstand
