How the -isms relate to Inigo Jones
Inigo Jones relates to individualism because he did not focus his architecture on everything other people wanted. He listened to them and built what they wanted him to, but he always added something extra or changed something they told him to do to something that he thought looked better. These things amazed the people because Jones changed their great ideas, and made them even better.
Inigo Jones relates to rationalism because he bases his acrhitecture on reason. He does not exactly follow the script or blueprint of the building. He will take out a part if he feels it does not fit well with the rest. On the other hand, he will add something if he feels that it will contribute to make it look better or more appealing.
