Summary:

This text is ostensibly a description of a corner in a breakfast room of the Villa Stonborough in Vienna. But the study also elucidates a complex set of ideas - an analyis of the villa's corner detail expands into a wider exploration of the logics of architectural syntax and his belief that good and poetic architecture is also practical.
