    The document discusses the concepts of proportion and organization in architecture according to Andrea Palladio and Le Corbusier. Palladio's designs emphasized centrality, symmetry, and hierarchical arrangement of spaces from most to least important. In contrast, Le Corbusier's designs featured dispersion, asymmetry, and an emphasis on circulation. While Palladio organized spaces based on importance, Le Corbusier focused more on functionality and human experience. Proportion and organization are key principles that, when applied together, can produce high quality architecture that satisfies clients.

    PROPORTION AND ORGANIZATION

    Proportion and organization have been the center of discussion for centuries Proportion is the relationship between parts. In desirable

    Andrea Palladio’s theory of proportion and arrangement


    of space expresses itself in centrality, symmetry and the
    plan.

    The difference between these two terms is that organisation determines the
    separation or connection between similar and dissimilar use that helps in
    clarification of aspect of use and establishes similarities or contracts between
    them.

    There are two ideas of organization in architecture which are organizational Where as Le Corbusier’s theory of proportion and arrang-

    PROPORTION AND ORGANIZATION
    The main difference between these two architects’ design
    style is Palladio’s design is more symmetrical and Le
    Corbusier’s design is more asymmetrical, which both
    contribute to how the buildings were organised and
    proportioned.

    The condition of architecture today also quite similar Organizations are how we link in different space in
    to the ideas from Le Corbusier. The organization arc- architecture in a rhythmic manner.
    hitecture today is not only focus to the functioning of
    the
    • building but also think about the sense and feeling In conclusion, a building that inputs the principle of
    of human from a building. proportion and organisation, will automatically be
    satisfying to the client. When these two principles
    have been applied in design,the quality of the building
    will be so flawless.
