Yeah, I'd always considered Alexander more of an academic than a practitioner, but it's interesting to look at what he and his colleagues actually produce. His buildings don't look amazing, but perhaps they work really well for their intended audience?
Ha, this is my first time to the Pattern Language website... It's clear that while Alexander may understand patterns in architecture, he has very little understanding of patterns in web design.
