What is Order

Handbook of Research on Visual Computing and Emerging Geometrical Design Tools
Order, in very basic terms, is defined as the interrelationship among constituent parts of any composition by Gombrich (1979) . This interrelationship may or may not be physical. Furthermore, as asserted by Chhaya (1975) , an order in any system is considered responsible for providing rules to bind the component parts with each other and give each one a unique placement and value to receive the desired value of the whole.

The Pattern of Repetition and the Quest for Creativity

Abstract
A common application of parametric design is observed in the field of generative processes. Offering the possibility of incorporation of variety along with multiplicity, parametric has presented new ways of creatively employing such repetitive patterns. However, the application of this creativity is often restricted up to formal characteristics, with a complete neglect of perceptual qualities of the composed space. In this reference, the chapter primarily questions whether creativity is only applicable to the formal attributes of the repetitive pattern in parametric design; and further aims to examine how parametric design can undertake a repetitive pattern to simultaneously achieve remarkable creativity in its formal as well as perceptual attributes. This aim is addressed here by proposing a particular approach of assemblage; an approach that can enable the designer to visualise the constant interaction between organizational qualities and perceptual qualities of the composition; and in turn to achieve the desired attribute of the compositional whole.
