This simple batch script makes a number of sqaures following the Fibonacci series.
			Palladio established strict proportions to correctly make columns. These two programs construct Doric and Ionic columns following every rule described in Qattro Libri. They need the coordinates for the centre of the base, and the size of the module (the diameter of the column at the base), and all the dimensions are derived from that number. However, I've added an optional parameter to alter the proportions of the capital. If you enter anything different from 2, the resulting column is not palladian (according to Qattro Libri, the capital is half a module).
			This program constructs a set of steps, which, in under certain circumstances, might be defined as a stairs. The program does not attempt to construct any particular kind of stairs. On the contray, that decision is up to the user, who might define a stair in any way. To construct the steps, the user needs to draw two lines at different heights and specify the number of steps betweeen those two lines. The first line will be coincident with the bottom of the first rise, and the second line will be coincident with the top of the very last rise. Note that this last rise is not drawn, as it is usually part of something else (ie. a wall, a slab, etc.) (not finished. 04/07/99)
			This is a compilation of the previous excercises, grouped under the NITROS (R) interface for AutoCAD. It is a simple project that collects some of the rules used by Andrea Palladio in his designs for villas. It doesn't intend to provide a final generative tool for Palladian designs; much on the contrary, it is a simple exploration of the shape grammar concept with the intrinsic limitations of the NITROS environment. Under specific circumstances, it is possible to replicate the design of a few Palladian villas by following a top-down process of progressive development.
