    Abstract

    Abstract. The paper discusses the concept of the diagram understood as a map of relations. It does not refer to a particular group of notational systems or graphic conventions, as it is often the case in architectural practice. The motif as diagram relates to the nature of composition in architectural media. It concerns the role of geometry in the development of architectural frames and organization of space and articulates an artistic element in architectural practice. The diagram as dispositive is a relational device that orchestrates a heterogeneous assemblage typically of a social nature. It highlights the question of technique in architectural practice but it also refers to the ways in which organization of space is involved in the forming of life and the production of habits.
