In this episode of Everything is Somewhere, Angus welcomes Maggie
Moore Alexander and Yodan Rofe—both close colleagues and friends of the late
Christopher Alexander, the visionary architect and philosopher renowned for his
influential theories on the built environment. Together, they discuss Alexander’s
enduring ideas, how they continue to shape thinking about architecture and
infrastructure, and the mission of Building Beauty, a multidisciplinary program inspired
by Alexander’s legacy. The conversation explores why these principles matter so deeply
for creating both beautiful and functional spaces in today’s world, and why wider
awareness of Alexander’s work could transform the built environment for the better.
