The Center for Environmental Structure was founded by the renowned architect, Christopher Alexander, in 1967 to house his research, teaching and building projects. The Center continues his legacy by developing further the ideas presented in the four volumes of The Nature of Order that outline the new processes necessary for the formation of healthy, beautiful and sustainable human environments in a contemporary context; executing these processes in built projects; and developing the processes in such a way that they are easily replicable by others.
