Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due prop

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of paying careful attention to the proportions of buildings in architecture. The success of a building design relies heavily on ensuring that the various elements and dimensions of the structure are harmoniously balanced and in proper proportion to each other. Achieving the correct proportions is crucial for creating visually pleasing and functional spaces, as well as to maintain structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. Architects must therefore dedicate great care and precision to consider and ensure the correct proportions in their designs.
