In this nerdier (academic) zine series called “What’s Love* Got To Do With It?” published in a Japanese journal, PTP.VOYAGE, we introduce thinkers that use love as a guiding force in their respective field. Christopher Alexander, through his theory on Pattern Language, transformed architecture and design by pioneering human-centered, pattern-based principles that harmonize spaces with life (and inspire fields beyond his own). But not a lot of people know that his theories stem from his emphasis on love.
