Salingaros] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Life and Complexity in Architecture From a Thermodynamic Analogy "A visual model computes numerical estimates for the comparative degree of organized complexity, or "life" of buildings, and contrasts this with the disorganized complexity."

Salingaros] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ecology and the Fractal Mind in the New Architecture: A Conversation "Covers topics such as how our fractal mind influences fractal qualities in man-made structures such as buildings and artworks.

Salingaros and Victor Padrón] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Universal Rule for the Distribution of Sizes "Most pleasing objects and designs obey an inverse power-law distribution in their subdivisions, which is a widely-observed relationship in both the natural and social sciences.

West] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Complexity and Urban Coherence "The theory of complex interacting systems, developed in biology and computer science, is applied to urban design. Coherence results from intense local couplings, and long-range connections that reduce disorder." [Nikos A.
