Summary
     We consider the structure of a regular space as derived from an increased cube outfitted all over with a quadratic modular grid. During the sketching period of structure building we simplify architectural forms as if they were temporarily planked (covered by boarding).
     In order to depict believably the foreshortening side planes, it is useful to trace all necessary elevations adding modular grids first. In the meantime we gradually get acquainted with the logic of repeating structural fields. Through early orthogonal sketching of complicated shapes we may better pursue their perspective distortions later. By thorough fully combinations of duplicating motives we may control the degree of foreshortening in details.
