A point of the book, "Complexity and Contradiction" that states that an architecture of complexity and contradiction aims to achieve unity through inclusion rather than exclusion, incorporating a multiplicity and diversity of elements.

A dominant binder connects dualities, resolving complexities through superimposition and symmetry. The whole fragment, where a building can be both a complete entity and a fragment of a greater whole, emphasizes the importance of recognizing and embracing contradictory levels within architecture for a nuanced understanding of the whole.
