I've been looking for internet connections to Christopher Alexander, his 
work, criticism, etc., but to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.

We're working on a 'pattern language' re the topic of community 
inclusion of people with disabilities.

I am a senior in interior design at Virginia Tech and know some about the 
programs at Tech as well as UVA.  Tech is doing some limited work on 
sustainable architechture, most of it based on the work of William 
McDonough, a professor of architecture at UVA. Mr. McDonough is the 
leading authority on sustainable design inside and out. While it does not 
come easily to recomend my rival institution, your best option would be to 
work under Mr. McDonough.
