The timeless way of building

Abstract

If we accept that the only worthwhile building is building that is architecture, the title borrowed from Christopher Alexander (CA) contains within it as astounding amount of wisdom which keeps unra­velling greater depths the longer one contemplates on it. This phrase of CA is pregnant with such meaning that one is lead to speculate on the insights that may have ensued if the thinking of CA met on some fertile ground the wisdom of Ananda Coomaraswamy (AC) before the original thoughts of both were robbed of their, verility by the likes of us.
