Elevation Classical Orders 3 Grecian + 2 Roman Classical Design The Elements of Classical Architecture All classical architecture of the Greco-Roman tradition is composed, or written, in one language of forms. These elements of classical architecture include specific Moldings and assemblages of moldings called an Order. An Order is an accepted way of assembling a column (supporting element) with an entablature (spanning element) while imparting a certain character. In short, an Order orders a design. Orders are never applied after the building is designed, as they are generative. Over time the canon has come to include five Orders: Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite. The Orders presented here represent the canon of the Roman tradition.

This example employs a ratio, 3 : 5, that Schindler recognized as a rational approximation to the golden section, although he rejected the value of the section in architectural design. Nevertheless, the example serves to introduce Le Modulor in which this ratio appears in the Fibonacci sequence of proportions promoted by Le Corbusier.s. Schindler sought freedom from these artificial constraints and limitations. Proportion as such was not the issue. He was more concerned with the preservation of scale throughout a work, the rhythmic relationships and the play of the unit system. Where necessary the system could be broken. Consistency was no virtue. The grid did not have to be square. "It is not necessary that the designer be completely enslaved by the grid. I have found that occasionally a space-form may be improved by deviating slightly from the unit. Such sparing deviation does not invalidate the system as a whole but merely reveals the limits inherent in all mechanical schemes" [Schindler 1946] According to Schindler, the unit of dimension, or module, is the choice of the architect. "He needs a unit dimension which is large enough to give his building scale, rhythm and cohesion. And last, but most important for the 'space architect,' it must be a unit which he can carry palpably in his mind in order to be able to deal with space forms freely but accurately in his imagination ” [Schindler 1946; see Park 2003]. Mathematics Manufacturing Grid Fibonacci Sequence Fibonacci's 1202 book “Liber Abaci” introduced the sequence to Western Europe, although the sequence had been previously described in Indian Mathematics.

Future Planning Communists argue against the “cult of individualism” and propose that the population act like a hive, a society united in mind and purpose. The housing projects of all communist nations consist of grey, unpainted concrete laid out with more rigidity and rigour than an average suburban neighborhood in the free world. Traditionally each compound had a hive leader, and a communist party member stationed on the first floor to monitor the drones.
