In architecture, the grid is aligned with the structural systems of the building such as beams and columns for isolations, repetitions or in between spaces.

The parallel three dimensional grid in Istana budaya shows a progression f rom rigid into an irregular alignment that determine the different size, location and function spaces in the building. The grid floor planning that also have a symmetrical balance pattern of Istana Budaya gives a sense of composite stability that unite the various form of spaces that also allow few area to stands out.
