RT @RoopeKaaronen: This spring I was fortunate enough to be awarded a three-year grant by @SuomenAkatemia to study the cultural evolution of ”rules of thumb”, or problem-solving through heuristics.

RT @TheSideViewCo: 1/4 In the wake of Christopher Alexander’s passing, we’re honored to continue our series on his work, in commemoration of a life deeply lived and shared. The “center” is among the most essential concepts in Alexander’s body of work. It is in many ways the crux of his philosophy.

RT @AE_Robbert: The late Christopher Alexander wrote in a clear and practical style. Still, finding a way into his dozens of lengthy publications can be a challenge to newcomers.
