A New Pattern Language for Growing Regions

Places, Networks, Processes

|| Paperback || Michael W. Mehaffy || Mijnbestseller.nl

Notes on an Incomplete Architecture

On the Bewitchment of Intelligence And the Nature of Habitat

2023 || Paperback || Michael W. Mehaffy || Mijnbestseller.nl

All human-made structures are “incomplete,” according to author Michael Mehaffy – that is, they embody abstract information that necessarily leaves out essential aspects of reality. This important concept from mathematics and philosophy has new relevance for today’s human challenges, Mehaffy argues.
