Arrangement Categories
Gregor Lersch's six-axis classification system for floral arrangements, providing a multi-dimensional framework for describing what any given design is, independently of the elements and principles that govern how it is made.
“The arrangement categories describe what a design is - the elements and principles describe how it works. These are different questions, and both frameworks are needed.”
The arrangement categories constitute a framework adjacent to - not above or below - the elements and principles. Drawn from Gregor Lersch's Principles of Floral Design (1999, revised 2009), they describe any arrangement across six independent axes: order (symmetrical or asymmetrical), arrangement style, floral line system, position of the point of emergence, number of focal points, and proportional direction. Any arrangement can be located simultaneously across all six axes. Every category and element pair, and every category and principle pair, has a potential relationship worth exploring.
