These papers mention grids as basic elements in teaching design for designer for many reasons : Separation of concerns leading to independence. Reuse of Independent units Efficiency in combining pre-existing units . Visual consistency through constraints. As it has been criticized for placing the designer at the heart of solution , gives meanings for grids through first five hundred years and then through next hundred years . these papers also will concentrate on proportion , geometry and different ways to use them for making best grids in Design . Then shows the proposal solutions of Grids for different spaces as the following : Grids in layout Design . Subdivided and superimposed Grids . Rectangular grids . Interface grids . Several related grids . After that it will show the relations that are established by grids , the applications of grids in Interior design works and the benefits of using them in different spaces , it shows good example of using grids in Design . At the end , there is the conclusion of main points of the research that serve design and help in teaching best ways for making good forms with good function in Design using Grids , it talk about Grid as a bit like magic that help designer decide where to put things . grids – Interface conditions of grids – several related grids
