In A. Ch. Quatremere de Quincy, the imitation is considered as "production of resemblance of a thing, but in another thing which becomes the image of that thing". What enables the pleasure is not the identical repetition of an object, but the differentiation or analogization depending on the image, which makes the border of the parts and their relation. This invention which must produce the pleasure is also to seek "the happy combinations of preexistent elements". It is the rules of the nature as an "illimitable circle" which assure that fact. The imitation of the nature as "a common model" can be regarded as a inter-textual moment which makes possible the sedimentation, reactivation and deconstruction of meanings of urban architecture as artistic works, that are idiomorphic by each architectural linguistic community.
