The Julian Street Inn – Shelter for the Homeless: Exterior wall cladding with hand-painted and hand-glazed tilework – Photographs of sketches depicting design process

01/01/1988
Sketches, Design Process

Eighteen photographs of a sequence of sketches by Christopher Alexander together with colored mock-ups of the design either on tiles or cardboard, depicting the unfolding of the tile pattern from a simple flower design, to a geometric pattern with rhombs, and then to its final design with the continuous loop braid at its center; each step demonstrates the emergence of stronger centers.
A number of them were exhibited at the Locus Manifesto-exposition “Re-enchant the World: Architecture and the City facing society´s transitions”, in Science Cabinet 2.
