In book two of this four-volume work, Alexander explains in detail
the kinds of process that are capable of generating living
structure. The unfolding of living structure in natural systems is
compared to the unfolding of buildings and town plans in
traditional society, and then contrasted with present-day building
processes. The comparison reveals deep and shocking problems which
pervade the present day planning and construction of buildings.
Pervasive changes are needed to create a world in which living
process - and hence living structure - are possible; these are
changes which are ultimately attainable only through a
transformation of society. It is the use of sequences which makes
it possible for each building to become unique, exactly fitted to
its context, and harmonious. And it is also this use of sequences
which makes it possible for people to participate effectively in
the layout of their own buildings and communities
