Variation in building design can contribute a lot toward achieving a harmonic design balance. Unified designs often celebrate differences as much as they celebrate sameness, and it is the interaction between the two that may yield a simple complexity. Be aware that your variation does not turn into complication — but instead celebrates needed and essential differences that contribute to the strength of your building design works. Additionally, variation gives way to hierarchy and structure, both of which help in stripping away its unnecessary complications. The key is to tap into the core of your design, where you remove the unessential to reveal what is most meaningful, simply and beautifully. So use the notion of variation to determine, if within your work, what is complex has given way to what is complicated. If it has, delve into reaching into the essence and core of your design by studying its variations— for I think that they will reveal the essential differences and samenesses that will make your work something meaningful to experience.
