Development of first Patterns and Pattern Languages

The first patterns were developed in 1967 by a group of people working together with Christopher Alexander in the Center for Environmental Structure. Between 1968 and 1976 the first pattern languages were developed and tested for particular projects undertaken by CES. Several of these projects were built during this period. The publication of 'A Pattern Language' followed in 1977.
