After reading Alexander’s pattern language, I wondered what the pattern was. Patterns are standard solutions to the problems that appear in the context as part of an effort to systematically reveal the ‘how’ or ‘process’ of architectural design – and the pattern of constant interaction with other elements in space follows the order of “situation”…
Space
Compare Work Community to Slack The idea of Work Community is to create positive experiences during work. Since people spend more time in the office than at home, It is very necessary to have workplace function as communities: where it provides opportunities so people are able to exercise, socialize,or relax during breaks. The messaging app…
The Demo to Today’s Technology
The demo from the Visible Language Workshop presents interconnections between visual elements that share a similarity with Christoper Alexander’s Patterns. As Christopher Alexander mentioned in Patterns from a Pattern Language, “work communities will help form boundaries, and then form activity nodes”. In the demo video, it shows virtual building blocks which navigate the viewers in…
Dana Chisnell-Pioneer in Civic Design
When it comes to human politics and design, we have to mention Dana Chisnell. She is a pioneer and thought leader in civic design, bringing deep experience to that space. Dana was named one of the world’s most influential people in digital government by Apolitical in 2019. Shed teaches a field course on design in…
Architectural space rules in digital social platforms
It’s interesting and surprising to connect patterns and spaces in architecture with digital interaction. These two can be cleverly matched in terms of design, as they both serve for human groups, only the space forms are different. Architect Christopher Alexander’s Patterns from A Pattern Language provides lots of design inspiration and rules for interaction designers….
Space and information transmission
Muriel Cooper showed us part of the beginning of interaction design through Visible Language Workshop. It creates a virtual space, which provides for people to transmit and organize information. Christopher Alexander also uses the concept of space to optimize the living environment of human beings. I have to say that there are similarities between the…
