One-hour special devoted to Christopher Alexander’s work in Japan, with emphasis on the process and design of the Chikusadai area of Nagoya, in response to an invitation to him by the families of the area to develop a low-rise, high-density alternative to the high-rise plans proposed by the city government, which threatens to destroy the sense of community and traditional way of life in the area.
