Thank you for all these links! This is just the subject I love reading about, and learning about. I have saved the videos to watch soon. Have you read Jane Jacobs? I was just listening to a podcast with Timothy Patitsas talking about her, as he also does in The Ethics of Beauty.

I haven't heard of either of those people. Now I shall google them. Thank you.

I just found this podcast yesterday, in which the participants talk about the current state of “modern traditional” architecture https://youtu.be/uS_3FB7foVc?si=OgTaBUfPA0QIq0Ng

Here’s a recent podcast with Patitsas- he’s the one from whom I heard of Jane Jacobs and Christopher Alexander. https://youtu.be/vrrU-OwlZDg?si=Oz6xe67XgAbG8Sb_
