Christopher Alexander owns one of the finest collections of early Turkish carpets in the world outside the Istanbul Museums. In this lavishly illustrated book, which coincided with a major exhibition of his collection at the San Francisco Museum of Fine Arts, Alexander discusses the provenance of each carpet and elaborates his theory that these carpets teach structure to artists and architects through the beauty of their form.
