Here rules of the two types are identified in sets from which subsets of identifiers and rules can be written. Each of the nine rule-sets contains many sub-identities of components and procedures for physical construction. A rule-set such as “Walls”, that identifies five sub-rules based on wall thickness, only needs construction rules; there is no need for rules based on style. In contrast, rules for “Frames” are based on a geometric style of curves and shape proportions.
The results will yield clear identities for a shape that can be based on physical construction and visual style. Rule-sets These identities are taken from the first book of architecture and a survey of built villas. These are the nine rule-sets that define identity.
