"Arrangement is the disposition in their just and proper places of all the parts of the building and the pleasing effect of the same, keeping in view its appropriate character. It is divisible into three heads, which considered together, constitute design: these, by the Greeks, are named ideals: they are called ichnography, orthography, and scinography. The first is the representation on a plane of the groundplan of the work, drawn by rule and compasses. The second is the elevation of the front, slightly shadowed, and shewing the forms of the intended building. The last exhibits the front and a receding side properly shadowed, the lines being drawn to their proper vanishing points." (Book I, chap. II).
