3 quotes that caught my attention:

“The public world is simple, the private world is elaborate; and, fi the private world affects a concern for contingency, the would be public personality long maintained an almost too heroic disdain for any taint of the specific.” p.93

“The grid is to be either all-encompassing-a practical impossibility, or is to be delimited- and hence not neutral” p.96

“…in the context of a model city, a city of the mind, can simply be functional or simply formal preoccupations be allowed to suppress questions relating to the style and substance of discourse.” p.121

Elements:

Acute angle = Angles smaller than 90 degrees. Create an enclosed atmosphere with a “tight” space in between the diagonal lines.

Contrast = When two objects are differing in juxtaposition 

Intersection = when two objects cross each other.

Major vs minor axis = when two different systems are in the same diagram,

Overlap = when one object is put on top of the other creating one shape.

Sequence = when objects are repeated after each other.
