Diagrammatic Potency of the “Nine Square Grid” in
Architecture. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, April 2009, Pages: 108
The diagram is a virtual machine enacting between the
architect and an end product. It brings order to the
essential elements of architecture through the forces
that are bound within it; waiting to be set by the
architect. It outlines possibilities of worlds; sets
modes of relations in-between program, context and
structure. It stands against a structure of
hierarchy, a linear mode of relations or a point of
origin. It is generative, performative and non-
representative.
The Nine Square Grid is a three by three square grid.
It is a grid framed within a grid, a stage without a
play, a canvas without the painting. It is detached
from any type and style; pointing to itself and
nothing but itself.
This book is a study on understanding how the Nine
Square Grid becomes a diagram. It outlines the
diagram, the Nine Square Grid, and how the Nine
Square Grid acts as a diagram. The reader is equipped
with adherent concepts to subjects and objects while
a variety of samples from architecture is collected.
Through the concepts and examples, the book
explicates how the Nine Square Grid acts to generate
architectural form and how it repeats itself as mere
type.
