 The Pattern Community
  
 There is small but growing worldwide community of people – mostly architects, scientists, activists, people engaging in society – who think that the ideas of Christopher Alexander are important.

This page serves to make part of the pattern community visible. This may be 20–30 % of what exists (even less in the field of software). Think of this as access points – application domains, projects or proponents – you might resonate with or attach to.

It will take some time to collect even a starting set of information for this page, maybe until end of May 2015. After that, this will be "work in progress" for a long time. Please, send me contributions for this page: people, projects, event, or domains that I have overlooked; also information about you and your work (Contact Me).
