Proportions in Space - Modules defined Cont'd

R.M. Schindler’s ‘reference planes in space’ leans more towards the creation of volumetric space rather than the specification of dimensioned elements per se. An example of its use can be seen in his 1928 Wolfe House. Volumes are subdivided in increasing complexity depending on program, but proportionally the grids are in harmony in both plan and section. The abstracted diagram in 3d volumetrically illustrates this point as well.
