What is Order?

1. Order, the Imposition of Human

Constructs

A. ORDER BY IMPOSITION

Order - upon analysis, is found to

consist in correspondence,

iteration, and the presence of fixed

ratios between the parts.

The need for order makes man

creative and conservative and at

the same time defends against all

charges. A common order is called

culture.

Design is the conscious effort to

impose meaningful order.

Each generation feels a new

dissatisfaction, and conceives of a

new idea of order. This is

architecture.

Order is

In order is a creative force...

Thru the order –what...

The same order

created the elephant and

created man...

Order does not imply beauty...

Order is intangible...

Order Supports

Integration..

Design is form-making

in order...

The term ‘order’ derives from the Latin ordo and ordin-,

row, series, rank, class, or degree, and is also related to ordiri,

begin, and ornare, adorn.

There are two Greek terms used to mean order – one is kosmos, “to

order or arrange”. The other is taxis, “the orderly arrangement of

parts.”

To the ancient Greeks, architecture consisted of arrangement, which

not only involved the placing of parts in relation to one another, but

elegance of composition.

There were subcategories of arrangement, called ideai in Greek,

which for architecture were the ground plan, elevation and

perspective.

Vitruvius says that order “gives due measure to

the members of a work considered separately,

and symmetrical agreement to the proportions

of the whole.”

Victor Papanek wrote 3 central concerns of design as a universal preoccupation:

1. It is a conscious act.

2. It seeks to elucidate meaning.

3. It imposes order upon an otherwise less-than-orderly world.

Order is basically balanced arrangement of the details of a work separately, and,

as to the whole, the arrangement of the proportions with a view to a symmetrical

result.

Order has two basic schemes;

a. The Grid (it may be radial-concentric aka polar or quadrangular)

b. Tri-partition (the inside and outside arrangement, the border elements, and

the enclosed elements.)

THE GRIDS TRI-PARTITION

Vertical Tri-partition: Bottom-Middle-Top

Lateral Tri-partition: Edge-Centre-Edge

Quadrangle

Polar

2. Hierarchy : A Special Case of Order

A formal structure generally consists of primary and secondary

elements, or exhibits a still more complicated hierarchy. The

primary elements are by definition basic to the structure ; if they

are taken away the composition disintegrates… The Secondary

ones, instead, may be treated with high degree of freedom,

though care must be taken that they donor interfere with the

primary elements.

1. Hierarchy comes from the medieval

Latin (h)ierachia stemming from the

earlier Greek ierarches (ieoros,

scared + arches) high priest.

2. The term relates to priestly rule, and

in everyday usage means ‘a body of

persons or things ranked in grades,

orders, or classes, one above another,

especially in science and logic form.

E :

Trace: From the Latin simplicitas or simplex, simplicity is the form, state

or condition of being composed of a single portion or structure and an

absence of complexity, intricacy, or adornment.

Art theorists and esthetician to propose that in esthetic judgment

“moderate simplicity is necessary if we to intuit relations and shapes at

all, instead of a great blur of confused masses and lines ,and moderate

complexity.

Simplicity was to receive another boost with the onset of the modern

movement from the early twentieth century;” it was an attempt to purify

architecture ,to remove the accretions of style to get back to simple.

Simplicity may not be quite the basis of truth as has been thought but rather a

degree of complexity that contain a lesson for modern thinking.

Alignment with simplicity provide an ideal and a perfect solution.

If simplicity has been achieved, the desire for simplicity remain high. Simplicity will

also main the mark of originality in the working out.

Architects known for the simplicity of their building s appear to bring a clarity of

thinking to bear on the task that somehow eliminates confusion and unnecessary

aspects.

Many architects of the modern movement towards simplicity wanted a uniformity

that Demetri Porphyrios (1978) term homotopia, a quality he defined as ‘the

kingdom of sameness; the region where the landscape is similar.’

B. Method: Telling Tales and Naming Places

There were two ways to be delivered; the one Historical by

description of the principle work and other logical.

The most banal event to become an adventure we must (and tis is

enough) begin to recount it. This is what fools people a man is always

a teller of tales.

A person trying to solve a problem whether in science or elsewhere

must be given complete freedom and cannot be restricted by any

demands.

• Method is an attempt to distill rationality from unique

design events to create a universal narration out of the

distillate.

• Narration derives from the Latin word “ gnarus “ Knowing

and is the action of relating or recounting a factual story or

account.

• Design narration is thus method the action of bringing into

factual account the designing rative-would be the factual

account.

There are four process of designing patterns and method is purportedly the tool. It has to be imagining process:

1. The mental process architects use to invent places is the thrust of research in to creativity while the “channels” and contexts conductive are the subjects of method.

2. Method, if is anything at all, is the invention of a topographic representation of the facts of a particular task of a scale and former suited to a particular designer.

3. Design method is the sequence of “play” adopted by a designer is more like the action of a game.

4. Consider the design projects as real live process and action of minute by minute activities. They are uncertain and risky.

3. Model Methods for Model Designers

There is a black box method which work well but no body work well. It

is like syhiectics.

The glass box method which logical matter but didn’t work.

There are many reasons for the attempt failure of modern architecture

and complete analysis of paradigm.

WHAT IS GLASS BOX METHOD?

• Another word for model is paradigm “ The ancient Greek word paradigm means a physical model and a pattern of any sought of an artist or architect ”.

• Stanley fish defines foundationalism which means as any attempt to ground inquiry and communication in some thing more stable and more believe and their believe or un examined practice.

• On the other hand anti foundationalism teaches that questions of the facts truth , corrections, validity and clarity can neither poses and nor answered in reference to some extra contextual abistorical.

There are four primary philosopher of methods whereas three of them are scientific and the fourth one is more circumspect view of scientific thinking:

1. The designing is a matter of arraying of the parameters of the design tasks such that with proper understanding.

2. The designers have cognitive schemas or pre structures that they bring to their designing and the design is a question of value.

3. The designing is the normative science with the predictive base in that in consist of paradigms that operates consistently until they undergo a change or shift by virtue of arguments.

4. The designing is utterly embedded in a a way we structure a view of the world and may be inherently in communicable in worlds.

• Conceptually the scientific models of method & even the synthesis model advertise its objective but never fully convinced architects to depend on them .

• Models helps students in narration while presentation

• The most elementary level of method is concept statement which is inspired by some architect who pay tribute to their teachers for years afterwards.

• Institutions maintaining architectural education have most embraced methodology

RATIONAL ANALYSIS &

MYSTIFYING SYNTHESIS Creativity does not demand for transparent will, not a beautiful

surface & not the construction but synthesis, & its not the sum of

details in a building but the unplanned passion .

Architecture is successive series of process & analysis to a

synthesis even the spirit transform by creativity with deep

physiological sensations result from them.

Perception of harmony comes to us from clear cut mathematical

quality.

It is then everything that serves everything that is helpful is

excelled.

Its a proper thinking & investigation that helps in forming concepts

that are dialectically intimate.

TRACE Analysis Greek: analyein (ana; up or back + lyein,

to loose)

Logically analysis is the tracing of things to their

sources or the discovery of general principles

underlying phenomena.

Its a modern sense of analysis resolving complex into

its simple elements.

Synthesis Greek: synthesis composition or

information( syn, with, together + thesis, a placing)

Many architects apply principles to produce

consequences that is opposite to analysis.

COMMENTARY

Traditional philosophy employs the symbolism of weaving that refers “ the wrap may be said to represent principles which binds together all the world or all the states, each of its threads forming connection between corresponding points in the different states;

The weft, the chains of events that are produced in each of the world, each thread being .

The development of the events in a given world.

Those who do not subscribe to traditional doctrine, synthesis presents real difficulties.

The neologism might be a useful addition to architectural discourse to suggest the closer weaving of syntalysis, as opposed to the looser weaving of analysis

IS THERE ROOM FOR

ANARCHY THERE IS NO NEED TO FEAR THAT THE WEAKENED

CONCERN FOR LAW & ORDER IN SCIENCE & SOCIETY

THAT CHACRACTERIZES AN ANARCHISM OF THIS KIND

WILL LEAD TO CHAOS.

IT WAS THE EXCESS OF THIS ANARCHY WHICH

BROUGHT ABOUT AS A REACTION THE DESIRE FOR

SYSTEM & THE TASTE FOR THEORIES.

INCONTRAST TO THE PRESENCE OF PAST IN POST

MODERN ARCHITECTURE,NONORIGNAL ANARCHE

CNNOT BE REPRESENTED.

IMMEMORIAL,UNREPRESENTED,& THE EXCLUSIVE

ANARCHY CAN NEVER BE CAPTURED IN THE PRISON

HOUSE OF LANGUAGE

TRACE Anarchy Greek; anarchos, meaning: without a leader.

Describes any state of lawlessness percieved from within an

established order.

Anarchy is not a quality that readily springs to mind in

architecture, so its impossible to conceive an architecture as

non-masterly building, unless it is vernacular.

Anarchy has arisen in architecture during times of major

ideological conflict, an essential phase in which paradigm

shift occurs in sciences

COMMENTARY

The notion of an architecture is especially provocative in view of the modernist project to create an architecture of its time.

Adopting a less radical sense of anarchy, it is possible to conceive of design generally as disturbing an existing situation.

A comparison can be made with the cultural critic & anthropologist of ritual in early western tribal cultures.

Medieval jesters or jokers, for an instance, represented the poor deformed classes hand a physically inferior position.

In a highly stratified society jesters were marked ad the inferior group.

In many respects architects are expected by society to be different, & it is important that architects do not miss the opportunities that affords them.

CONCLUSION

What are laws? Or phases, or changes, or directions and especially architecture?

They are nothing but human concepts, devised by us, and layered over the world as a

means of giving it order and making it comprehensible.

So, if architects speak of order, hierarchy, chaos, simplicity, complexity, and the impact of

time, they are speaking about themselves and their own needs.

I cannot think that the world... Is the result of chance; yet I cannot look at each separate

thing as a result of Design. I am, and shall ever remain, in a hopeless muddle.

(Charles Darwin 1888)

Knowledge which is derived from wonder is unhappy unless it relates itself to other

knowledge. And this relation of knowledge to knowledge is what you might call a sense of

order; a sense of the position of this knowledge in relation to other this around. When we

get a sense of order not just knowledge or information – then we are happy. We wink at

wonder and say, “ How am I doing wonder?” Because wonder is activated by this

knowledge, and better still, by this sense of order.

(Louis Kahn 1962)
