Pattern Language Institute

The Pattern Language Institute is an organization dedicated to studying and promoting the use of "patterns" in design and planning. These patterns are proven solutions or best practices for common problems in areas like architecture, community development, and organizational structure. Developed by architect Christopher Alexander and others, pattern languages help create environments and systems that are functional, human-centered, and adaptable. The institute offers education, research, and resources to apply these patterns effectively, fostering well-designed, sustainable, and vibrant communities and spaces.
