macrodiagonals

Example:The orthogonal alignment of facades in the building design ensures a strict adherence to vertical and horizontal axes, rather than diagonal connections.

Definition:At right angles, perpendicular, or addressing issues at a fundamental level rather than bringing distant points closer together.

Example:In the design of the wall patterns, short diagonals are used to create a more intricate and detailed visual effect, complementing the overall structure without spanning the entire width or height.

Definition:A shorter line or path that spans a smaller area or through a smaller part of a structure or design.
