Imagine the best place you know. A place that made you feel alive— like all was well. A place that felt completely comfortable. It could be somewhere you’ve visited, or if you’re lucky somewhere you lived. Maybe it’s an imaginary place. It could be a neighborhood or a chair by a nice window. Maybe it was a street where people waved hello, or busy waterfront walk in the evening, or a quiet porch in the afternoon. Close your eyes and try to feel what it was like to be there.
What made that place so good? How can the places you live, work, or hang out be like that?
Here are some books I’ve found about making wonderful, live-enhancing places.
These books are generally about lively, humble places where everyday life happens. Well beyond design and decoration, these books focus on how physical characteristics, life activities, communities, and the natural environment can interact and work together to create healthy places. They also tend to highlight grass-roots approaches to placemaking, rather than processes driven by developers, governments, or architects, though each of those groups can help or hinder the work.
From this list, the books by Christopher Alexander are my favorites. One of these books is always on my active reading pile and the bookmarks make their way from beginning to end, then loop right back to the beginning. I love his vision of a living and lively world of human habitation and his methods are both immediately applicable and endlessly profound.
