See ‘The Virtues of Good Architecture’, Works, 9.60 Chapter ll, and compare the agenda Ruskin set for himself in the entry dated Dijon 6th Oct. His aim there was to define the ‘conditions, or laws of beauty in the most refines work’ by a consideration of the necessary parts and necessary functions of a building, ‘wall, roof, door, and window’. Key concepts are: Wall; pillar; pier; veil; buttress; lintel; gable; arch; abacus; bell; base; shaft; frieze; cornice; roof; aperture / window/ door; dripstone; superimposition of two kinds, that where the storeys are clearly separated by a string course, and that which is ‘involved’, without clear separation.
