(ii) The plane-surface extension (The formation of a grid)

By expressing units in two dimensions, you can create more expressive fretwork than by lineal extension. This is attained when expanding a linearly extended shape in the other direction, but it is also effective when planning the structure as a two-dimensional KOHSEI (Basic Art & Design) from the first. It is not necessary to choose between the two.

We have an incredible variety of shapes from the mere combination of the same shapes. The osculation arrangement of units develops a large variety of interspace shapes which increases a formative effect. It is also interesting to examine them from the relationship of the figure to background and/or foreground. 

· Figures 162-166 are the formations of grids by the plane-surface KOHSEI (Basic Art & Design) of units.
