Guild House –The Symbolism Of The Ordinary:

The pretensions of the giant order on the front, the symmetrical, palazzo-like composition with its three monumental stories (as well as its six real stories), it is this juxtaposition of contrasting symbols—the decoration (appliqué ) of one order of symbols on another—that constitutes for us the decorated shed. This is what makes Guild House an architect’s decorated shed.
