ABSTRACT
Introduction So far, we have explored some fundamentals of visual order, building toward a basic grammar of architectural design. Along the way, we have selected some formal attributes of exemplary building projects – what architects refer to as – to demonstrate how these fundamentals of visual order dwell within actual works of architecture. In order to survey the ubiquitous presence of order within buildings, our focus in this chapter and the next is on the diagrammatic of precedents.
