Hi friends--
More from Christopher Alexander, things which have resonance with open
space:
In the most profound centers which have perfect wholeness, there
is at the heart a void which is like water, infinite in depth,
surrounded by and contrasted with the clutter of the stuff and
fabric around it.
....
On an intimate human scale we find the same in SITTING CIRCLE
(p. 857), where the circle itself, and the empty space at the
heart of the circle, are small scale manifestations of the void
at work. Small caps in original—a reference to A Pattern
Language.Christopher Alexander, The Nature of Order: An Essay on
the Art of Building and The Nature of the Universe, Book One:
The Phenomenon of Life, p 222-225.
