The Luminous Ground

The Nature of Order, Volume 4

2004

The fourth book in The Nature of Order series challenges mechanistic views of the universe, arguing that modern architecture’s dehumanized, investment-driven designs disconnect us from spirit, emotion, and feeling. Alexander proposes a new cosmology where matter is imbued with consciousness, making space and matter deeply personal and spiritual. A 100-page chapter on color illustrates how spirit manifests in the world. This vision, blending science and emotion, calls for buildings rooted in personal experience, reshaping our concept of place and design.
