what is the ratio of my geometric black & whites
SUBJECT — GOLDEN SECTION
ASPECT RATIOS
HORIZONTAL — VERTICAL

superimpose a vertical grid on a horizontal —
centered there’s a square —
the visually pleasing ratio fo the golden section & the numerically pleasing 12x16 — 3x4

the different symmetries of even & odd numbers —
the odd gives a centered square <drawing>

solids and voids — filling in the lines of the grid — —
ideas from eisenman (reading blurred & barefoot ... at the same time — one upstairs one downstairs ) i can’t use the grid ideas in the house but the yard is perfect because we have the grid of the lot — and a grid diagonal to the lot that we used for the pergola & one garden —
with everything dry and dead now is a good time to redo the yard —

the design grid
the diagonal grid of walking —
the non grid of the path — contour

walking the city grid — broadway cutting across —

circular designs of suburbs —
i read somewhere that there is a natural tendency to walk in circles
