The aim of this thesis is to search for the diagrammatic potency of the &ldquo / nine square grid&rdquo / (9SG) in architectural design. The thesis refers to the diagram as a tool for bringing order to the essential elements of architecture (i.e. program, structure and context). It highlights the potential relationships among these elements. In this study, the 9SG is approached as a diagram that has the potential to generate different spatial relations.
The thesis investigates different uses of the 9SG in reference to the selected projects from the architectural history and recent architectural practice. This investigation allows understanding the creative use of the 9SG as a design tool for bringing order to the essential elements in architecture.
