Introducing Metaxography in architecture

Description

In architecture, a designer's dilemma is not the design of a single object. It is instead the fact that buildings have different parts and features, the relationships between which are difficult to control. These parameters include a building's volumes, rooms, walls, ceiling, windows, stairs, colours etc. It would be easier to design a door that stands for itself, but all parts of architecture have to be understood in relation to each other. The same challenge presents itself in urban design: There are many different elements, which do not float separately in a meaningless vacuum. The complexity of urban design is increased by the fact that there are several buildings plus everything in between them: vegetation, parking lots, streets, squares, playgrounds and so on. It is again easy to design these spaces separately, but the conundrum of architectural relationships becomes unavoidable when one sees the whole.
