Even though I'm only on volume 1, as soon as I started it I wish I would've read this sooner.
All the things by Christopher Alexander(Start with timeless way...explore the pattern language...move on to Nature of order...then others.)
Nature of Order is (IMO) probably one of the most important books of the twenty-first century.
