initial reaction to the readings

The Durand reading starts to imply a topological investigation of the orders of columns while questioning the initial reasoning behind the forms. Boullee starts to explore the topology of solids (whether he thought of it in those terms or not), pulling out their attributes of regularity, symmetry, and variety. Both writings start to touch on ideas that we've discussed, but beyond that I'm not sure the relevance aside from "hey look, these guys kinda got it, maybe."
