Each pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over again
in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to
that problem, in such a way that
you can use this solution a million times
over, without ever doing the same way twice.
A Pattern Language - Towns, Buildings,
Construction, Alexander 1977
A pattern lives when it allows its own inner forces
to resolve themselves.
The Timeless Way of Building, Alexander 1979
