10In the poetics of Aristotle,aswe have already observed,the work of art is a world within t h e w o r l d,“c o m p l a t e,”“integral,”“Whole,”a world where there is no contradiction.Noncontradiction is ensured through the functioning of three levels of formal organization.The first is what Aristotle called taxis,the orderly arrangement of parts[poetics,bk,VII,para.35].It will be dealt with here.……Taxis divides a building into parts and flts into the resulting partitions the architectural elements,producing a coherent work.In other word,taxis constrains the placing of the architectural elements that populate a building by establishing successions of logically organized divisions of space.
