A Pattern Language by Chris Alexander changed the way I think about the way space is organised in a room, a house, a street and a town.. I keep giving it away to people who feel their homes don't quite work in the way they want them to. Every architect, estage agent and MP should read it. * James Runcie, Daily Mail *
