Our lives are strewn with Patterns.

Patterns of work, play and behaviour.

Patterns that are graphical and structural. Patterns of nature.

And they mean different things to different people, all of us interpreting them in our own way.

A mathematician sees a repeated set of numbers, an engineer sees a set of instructions, an athlete sees a competitive strategy.

Architect Christopher Alexander spoke of a pattern language, which describes a problem and then offers a solution.  

A way of determining and designing spaces to create a healing experience. Empowering anyone to design and build at any scale.

We are each made up of patterns and we recognise them in every aspect of our lives, using them to make sense of an increasingly complex and polarized world.

So, this is a place where we explore the patterns that structure our lives, asking the right people the right questions about why they do what they do.

Pattern is an online editorial platform which explores passion, productivity and process, ritual, routine, work, life, and the struggle to find balance between them.

Through feature interviews and photography, Pattern tells the stories of a wide range of individuals who through their work are making change, creating things, inspiring others, and innovating for the world.

In the stories of others, we can discover our own pattern.
