Whatever Happened to the Elements of a Composition?

Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Sarah Deyong

In tracing the history of the old composition books, this paper makes the case for a lexicon of elements, whose terms have evolved since the first architectural academies and endured in an oral tradition to this day. This lexicon does not purport to represent a system or a recipe. Instead it is more akin to a list of ingredients that goes into the making of a great dish.
