What great quotes should I use to describe plan, section and elevation drawings in architecture?
My interpretation of the work of Louis I. Kahn comes with a sense that the elevation is an expression of the plan. Problem here though, is that I can not think of a quote that might be attributed to him that expresses this. I’ve always leaned towards the Corbusier axiom you note and frankly, even in my studies of architecture in graduate school, my attempts to work with sections in the same spirit as expressed in that quote failed miserably. Of course, I am not half the architect that Corbusier or many others are — therein might lie my failure — but the fact is that we move through space with respect to gravity. Hence, the plan is the ultimate generator.
