@calebgreene Yes! I’d say read the intro and a few of the city-scale patterns upfront (e.g., Identifiable Neighborhood, Community of 7000) to get a sense of the human-scale conviction behind the project. Resonances of Illich, Schumacher, and the like. And then follow the wiki-style structure of suggested connections attached to each entry, to wherever your curiosity takes you, all over the book. It’s really a flip-through reference. CA thought of Timeless Way as the first half of Pattern, but the publisher would only do it in separate volumes. Timeless Way is kind of the “why” to APL’s “how,” but you get lots of why along the way in APL with the vivid examples.
