If you mean the reilly abstraction here's a passage from a book:

"The philosophy behind this concept is that by simplifying the complex shapes of the subject in to their simpler geometric counterparts and further observing their relationships, the artist can more efficiently and consistently accomplish a desired result."

The method Steve Huston is showing on the lecture is very similar and probably based on the same idea and approach. I just googled some pictures of the Reilly method and it seems like there are lot of contour lines (pic related) and I often skip those and plot the volumes out while rendering. The method on the lecture might be a little more "sculpturesque" resembling very soft graphical block where you plot out your proportions in the beginning. I didn't find out good step by step Reilly abstraction images at glance so can't really say how you begin the Reilly sort of drawing.
