Highly complex designs can be described as layered objects whose parts are all related symmetrically. Meier offers an architecture that presents itself as ‘a system of systems’ of a hyper-refined construction. Such a design exemplifies formal qualities of abstraction, layering, complexity and depth, all appearing impenetrable to any analysis using the existing methods. The representational model is built upon abstraction, projection, weighting and layering. The wall functions as a distributor of the forms of architecture: the ‘articulation in relief’ and the ‘organizational scaffolding’. A new layering strategy borrows elements from both and organizes the whole construct along the premises of group theory. Such a synthesis...

The 19th century produced dozens of independent designers, particularly towards the end of the period. As the furniture trade developed, so manufacturers and retailing split. Catalogues began to be used in retail shops as they are today. Competition between retailers and the use of the new design books resulted in a large number of designs, not only new ones but also a constant looking backwards to earlier centuries for inspiration. This change in the structure of the industry made full use of highly individual interpretations of Gothic, Renaissance, Elizabethan, "Naturalistic" styles, Egyptian, Old French, Louis Quatorze, Louis Quinze and Italian decorations, all applied to a wide variety of furniture. The complexity of the subject is...
