I also own a hard copy of this one and know nothing about architecture. I've found the patterns helpful for video game level design. Whether it's the layout of a small town, window placement, or the tiered chambers of a church or temple, this book is extremely insightful for someone who doesn't know where to start when it comes to this stuff.

My daughter goes to UO, where Alexander had a hand in applying some of his ideas. If you go to the campus today, though, it's overwhelmingly Uncle Phil who shapes the look and feel, sadly.
