In this part of the analysis, I look at the Hierarchy & Symmetry of each building. By doing so, I am able to break them down into their components, while studying its spacial planning. Each building is unique in their own way, due to the designer's program that they followed. A building is similar to a painting because not every artist follows the same rules. Some of these building have symmetry and some might not. Some components are more prominent than others by over shadowing them or they all work fluidly to create a bigger grander picture.

Once again, the diagrams and colors separating the hierarchy and lines of symmetry are both active in engaging the eye, while passive in the information they are relaying. You are letting/allowing the viewer to draw their own conclusions from your chosen subjects, but you also need to eventually (and always) through the design and analysis phases, be thinking about how you want to lead the viewer toward your conclusions for your building design. Your method shows me that visually you are making striking contrasts between each building type shown. You briefly talk about the programme followed by the designer, which might be nice to have some short notes or bullets included explaining what those parameters were, which may be, as yet, undecided as to how they inform your final building.
