This book presents a holistic integral sustainable design and planning method embedded in the hypothesis of biophilia, our innate connection to nature, used as a platform to chart a biophilic pattern language framework. In A Biophilic Pattern Language for Cities , the author positioned the innate human-nature connection as critical in biophilic design and sustainable city planning solutions.
Reviews / Votes
"In this powerful book, Roös revisits and creatively reinvigorates the ground-breaking pattern language work of Christopher Alexander a half-century ago. This new design imperative moves nature from something simply desirable to something absolutely essential to a flourishing urban life and to achieving a sustainable future." (Timothy Beatley, PhD, Teresa Heinz Professor of Sustainable Communities, School of Architecture, University of Virginia)"Roös branches out in his own original direction, applying patterns in a holistic manner tied directly to natural systems. His work thus complements other recent work on Biophilia and Patterns." (Nikos A. Salingaros, PhD, Professor of Mathematics and Architecture at the University of Texas at San Antonio)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
