‘Beauty will result from the form and the correspondence of the whole, with respect to the several parts, of the parts with regard to each other and of these again to the whole; that the structure may appear an entire and complete body, wherein each member agrees with the other, and all necessary to compose what you intend to form.’ Andrea Palladio.
The Hut - Spa Fields, EC1
