The juxtaposition of these two elements allows for insight into and exploration of their autonomous ordering potentialities, as well as the potential relationships or the presence of both systems. The syntactic grid articulates structure and strength for the architectural project , while the pure volume translates the programmatic function and their distinction from the grid.ETDIn Copyrightgridsyntaxpure formautonomyactionsituationsjuxtapositionThesis
