To create and maintain good places, buildings, and neighborhoods, we must admit the explicit use of feeling when we decide whether some proposal is in harmony with the good things that already exist. We use this feeling to judge whether someplace has 'life'. This video is from a conversation between 'A Pattern Language' author, architect, and planner Christopher Alexander, and urbanology.com founder, and Rain Magazine editor, Greg Bryant. The conversation was recorded in Berkeley on January 6, 1994 by filmmaker David Heine. The context of Bryant's questions is 'The Oregon Experiment', the participatory planning, design, and building process that Alexander initiated in 1970 at the University of Oregon.
