Christopher Alexander, as mention elsewhere on this page, is also a great reference here. I'm working through his Nature of Order books at the moment, and although he can be long-winded and vague at times, I'm absolutely loving them.
Your comment made me think of a quote from the first book: "The view of order which I describe in this book is very different. It is even-handed with regard to ornament and function. Order is profoundly functional and profoundly ornamental."

Interesting, thanks for the recommendation!
