PATTERNS
The lecture highlighted the application of patterns to a multitude of areas, in keeping with the theories of Christopher Alexanders A Pattern Language. This is a guide book that I like to flick through when brainstorming about design strategies, it is almost like a thesaurus for designers. Our tutorial groups really struggled with the concept of creating our own sustainability patterns. I feel these are quite difficult to come up with specifically without empirical knowledge of the area, and we tended to generalise.

Need to be more specific, Christopher Alexander does it better: see below extracts from A Pattern Language
