Book Four presents a new cosmology that arises from the careful study of architecture and art, and above all from the practice of the arts. It is a cosmology which places the I, our experience of self, as the linking stem that unites each individual with the whole, connecting consciousness and matter.

Part of a 4 part series that I value the most of all the books I own

Alexander is an architect who argues for a totally fresh approach to building and art. quite stimulating and mind expanding with beautiful text full of pictures and examples.I classify it as spiritual reading since it fosters real contemplation of the world around us as an unfolding of a fundamental ground of unity in creation.
