Alexander, Christopher, A
PATTERN LANGUAGE. I was in the University of Oregon in
Eugene when Alexander and crew were working on the project that
became "Pattern Language". I love the concept and the
system.

Todd, Nancy Jack and John Todd, FROM ECO-CITIES TO LIVING MACHINES, Principles of Ecological Design, USA, Berkeley, CA, North Atlantic Books, 1994, ISBN 1-55643-150-3, LC#: 93-26499. I've tried getting some specific help from the group these authors belong to, but haven't been able to get much out of them. The company is very much into selling their bio-machine water systems to towns here and in other countries. What I want is a system for a homeowner. It's another great concept, though.
