Architecture is a science arising out of many other sciences, and adorned with much and varied learning; by the help of which a judgment is formed of those works which are the result of other arts.

For an object under the eye will appear very different from the same object placed above it; in an inclosed space, very different from the same in an open space.

Consistency is found in that work whose whole and detail are suitable to the occasion. It arises from circumstance, custom, and nature.
