All these different features of the process must be going on continually while we are making the building. Indee. But in addition, there is one additional thing – the state of mind which must accompany this process. The essence of this state of mind is that the building must not shout. Emotionally, it must be completely quiet. – Christopher Alexander, The Luminous Ground, page 304

| Indre Vassholmen island, Indre Oslofjord, Norway, shortly before 1900. Shows an old couple wit a dog in front of their house with the common Norwegian-Swedish flag for the union (unionsflagget, kalt "sildesalaten") used between 1844-1899. Can't see the photorafetr's name, but Mr. Edvin Bauthler (1859-1934), Oslo, has shot other pictures from the island around the same time. |
