Christopher Wolfgang John Alexander (4 October 1936 – 17 March 2022)

紀念 Christopher Alexander 1936~2022 (4)：紐約時報的訃聞 Architect Who Humanized Urban Design；藝術史的線索和 顏色與內在光亮 。

Alexander attended the Dragon School in Oxford and then the Oundle School.^[18] In 1954, he was awarded the top open scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge University in chemistry and physics, and went on to read mathematics. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Architecture and a Master's degree in Mathematics. He took his doctorate at Harvard (the first PhD in Architecture ever awarded at Harvard University). His dissertation "The Synthesis of Form: Some Notes on a Theory" was completed in 1962.^[20] He was elected fellow at Harvard. During the same period he worked at MIT in transportation theory and computer science, and worked at Harvard in cognition and cognitive studies.^{[citation needed]}

Design science[edit]

The life's work of Alexander is dedicated to turn design from unselfconscious behavior to selfconscious behavior, so called design science.^{[citation needed]} In his very first book Notes on the Synthesis of Forms, he has set what he wanted to do. He was inspired by traditional buildings, and tried to derive some 253 patterns for architectural design. Later on, he further distills 15 geometric properties to characterize living structure in The Nature of Order. The design principles are differentiation and adaptation.

Folio 3v contains the colophon to the Gospel of Matthew from the Durham Gospel Fragment

The frame is in the form of three "D" shapes stacked one atop another and which occupy the entire right half of the page. The spaces between the curves of the "D" shapes are filled with triangular knots. The "D" shapes themselves are decorated orange dots superposed on yellow interlace patterns. The pattern of the interlace is different on each of the "D" shapes. This frame represents the first appearance in an Insular manuscript of interlace, a motif which will assume enormous importance in later manuscripts. The frame encloses the explicit for Matthew, the incipit for Mark, and the text of the pater noster* in Greek, but written in Latin letters.

(in the Roman Catholic Church) the Lord's Prayer, especially in Latin.

框架的形式是三個“D”形，一個一個疊在一起，佔據了整個頁面的右半部分。 “D”形曲線之間的空間充滿了三角形結。 “D”形本身是裝飾在黃色交錯圖案上的橙色圓點。 每個“D”形的交錯圖案都不同。 這個框架代表了第一次出現在島嶼交錯手稿中，這一主題在後來的手稿中將變得非常重要。 框架包含了 Matthew 的顯式*、Mark 的開頭和 pater noster 的希臘文文本，但用拉丁字母書寫。
