		Classical architecture is a visual "language" and like any other language has its own grammatical rules.
		Classical buildings as widely spaced in time as a Roman temple, an Italian Renaissance palace and a Regency house all show an awareness of these rules even if they vary them, break them or poetically contradict them.
		The book is intended for anybody who cares for architecture but more specifically for students beginning a course in the history of architecture, to whom a guide to the classical rules will be an essential companion.

	Gartner’s View of Enterprise Architecture [Tesugen]
		A central idea in Massimo Pezzini’s presentation was that it isn’t possible to do “classical” architecture in the larger scale, where different systems, existing and future ones, each belonging to different organizations, are to interact with each other.
		To use his terms, you can’t dictate a list of design patterns that must be used, specify various models of some generic organization which every organization must mimic (the Information Architecture), and a standard platform that all systems must be deployed on (the Technical Architecture).
		Architecture in fact often includes city planning, but here the city planning metaphor refers to an overall plan, a framework of guidelines and rules, within which several architectures are created.

		But consider the architectural perspective: we witness thousands upon thousands of buildings constructed or under construction which have no tenants, which could never be paid for under capitalist conditions, whose very existence cannot be justified by any market standards.
		It would be too simple to say that architecture and space are here metaphors for everything else: but this is no longer architectural theory; nor is it a novel whose point of view is that of the architect.
