Ordering & Principles
Architecture cannot fulfill its function & transmit its message unless it presents an
ordered pattern. Order without diversity can result in monotony or boredom;
diversity without order can produce chaos. If there is no order, there is no way of

1. Symmetry
1. Hierarchy
1. Rhythm/Repetition
1. Datum
1. Transformation
