What Would David Cronrath Do? Found these while going through my old architecture notes the other day.

Rule #1

Everything is made of C's, L's and J's

Rule #2

Three Dimensionalize [sic]. As Dave was fond of saying, this is not Mario Brothers

Rule #3

Faceted Forms are crisp, precise & powerful. They lend mass to composition

Rule #4

Pivots change direction of space. Voids can be pivots as can mass.

Rule #5

Space is not gravity bound. Gravity kills.

Rule #6

Difference defines everything...or as I like to say, understanding comes through difference.

Rule #7

Compose, don't vomit.

Rule #8

Void is cheaper than mass.

Rule #9

Layers are made by overlap and void.

Rule #10

Continuity is an arrow through the head (see Steve Martin)

Rule #11

Two volumes of space can collide and still retain their shapes.

Rule #12

Band aids can reinforce continuity through discontinuity (see rule #6)

Thus spoke Dave.
