In this first pair of pages, Alberti is detailling with much precision a corinthian capitel in both textual and graphical way. This makes this double page interesting because they really seem to complete one another.
In this second set of pages, we see how a part relates to the whole construction, allowing us to understand how this machine can work in either one way or the other.
This last set of pages is in my opinion interesting as it gives us an insight in the vitruvian “symmetry” of the building, so to say into the proportion of the edifice. Those both pages respond to one another in order to make the proportion understandable.
