Alexander et al's 'patterns' concept was a key inspiration for the object-oriented paradigm now prevalent in software development, and the invention of the wiki by Portland programmer Ward Cunningham.
With this article we are attempting to derive a pattern language to describe all ways to achieve housing affordability. Of course, affordability is not the ''only'' problem or goal people have in housing or housing policy, but it is an important one, and here we are choosing it as our lens.
Mehaffy talks about wikis and pattern-languages as tools for "consensus development." In that vein, I've been thinking with this book concept about how to show varied patterns - from public housing to 'abundant' market housing - as all being possible sources of or factors in affordability. As integrable, instead of conflicting, ideas/approaches.
