Vineyard Farmers Market - designed by Christopher Alexander
Christopher Alexander is Professor Emeritus of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, best known for his seminal works on architecture including A Pattern Language, Notes on the Synthesis of Form, and The Nature of Order, Volumes I-IV.
He is the father of the Pattern Language movement in computer science, and A Pattern Language was perhaps the first complete book ever written in hypertext fashion.
He has designed and built more than two hundred buildings on five continents: many of these buildings lay the ground work of a new form of architecture, which looks far into the future, yet has roots in ancient traditions. Much of his work has been based on inventions in technology, including, especially, inventions in concrete, shell design, and contracting procedures needed to attain a living architecture.
- VINEYARD FARMERS MARKET, 6000 square foot building. Redwood arched trusses, concrete columns. Floor of grey concrete with blue concrete ornaments, let into the slab, forming an endless pattern. For Richard Erganian, Fresno, California, (with Carl Lindberg, Jonathan Fefferman), 1983.
