Stewart Brand has been a key figure in the alternative culture of the US West Coast since the 1960s. The key message in his various publications has been that communities should be enabled to constantly reshape their own environments. In conversation with former Technical Editor of AD Peter Murray, he describes his lifestyle and influences – from the hippy movement, to time working for California Governor Jerry Brown in the 1970s, to writers such as Gregory Bateson, Frank Duffy and Christopher Alexander – and advocates a loose-fit ‘architecture of systems’, rather than a fixed and limiting ‘architecture of moulds’.

向西海岸学习：长期主义与变革-斯图尔特·布兰德专访

自1960年代以来，斯图尔特·布兰德（Stewart Brand）一直是美国西海岸替代文化的关键人物。在他的各种出版物中，关键信息是应该使社区能够不断重塑自己的环境。在与AD的前技术编辑Peter Murray交谈时，他描述了他的生活方式和影响-从嬉皮运动到1970年代为加利福尼亚州州长杰里·布朗工作的时间，再到格里高里·贝特森，弗兰克·达菲和克里斯托弗·亚历山大等作家–以及倡导者宽松的“系统架构”，而不是固定的限制性“模具架构”。
