Vignola's sculptural superimposition of portal and portico in his pavilion at Bomarzo ( 17) and the amputated pilasters of the entrance facade of the BelCn church in Cuzco are perhaps intriguing solecisms, but the complex superadjacencies in the cloister fasades at Tomar (109) compose a wall validly containing spaces within itself. The multiple layers of columns--engaged and disengaged, large and small, directly and indirectly superimposed-and the profusion of superimposed openings, architraves, and horizontal
and diagonal balustrades create contrasts and contradictions in scale, direction, size, and shape. They make a wall containing spaces inside itself. I shall return to this kind of valid redundancy in the next chapter concerning the difference between the inside and the outside.
