The Building Process Area of Emphasis

New area of study in the Architecture Department proposed by Christopher Alexander to the Faculty of the Department. The intellectual content of this area of study laid in the convergence of two streams of thought: a) the concept of wholeness, and b) that the production of wholeness can happen only as a building process.
