1. Theory of Diagram: 04 - 12
This part will focus on the formation of the hypothesis and the
analytical method used, by stating the relationship between form
and diagram.
- 1.1. Introduction 05
- 1.2. Definitions of diagram 06
- 1.3. Axis, grid, lineamenta 07
- 1.4. The functionalist approach 08
- 1.5. ‘Genera’ 10
- 1.6. The hypothesis 11
2. The Nine Square Grid: 13 - 20
The second part explains the emergence of the 9SG as a diagram.
It specifies the framework which states the relationship between
parts in the nine square grid and defines the characteristics of the
9SG.
- 2.1. Emergence of Nine Square Grid 14
2.1.1. Western Context 14
2.1.2. Indian Context 16

2.2.1. Centre
2.2.2. Grid
2.2.3. Radial
2.2.4. Axis
2.2.5. Symmetry
2.2.6. Hierarchy
3. Analysis: 21-159
A total of 55 plans are selected. Each plan will be diagrammed and
their transformations would be studied. All the diagrams would be
compared to recognize formative patterns.
