Principles

1. Axis: A line drawn at the center point  of any object.

 

This photo relates to the subject by showing the middle point of an object.

2. Symmetry: when one side of something balances out or mirrors the other.

This photo relates to the subject because it is exactly balanced on all sides.

3. Hierarchy: when one object dominate another object, whether its by size, color, etc.

This photo relates to the subject because it displays the hierarchy of human scale in which the biggest is first and goes to the smallest.

4.Rhythm & Repetition: A principle of design that indicates movement achieved by repetition of shapes, colors, etc. Repetition occurs when there is a constant motif being represented over and over again.

This photo relates to the subject because it shows a constant repetition of angled cubes in a constant rhythm.

5. Transformation: the act or process of transforming into something else.

This photo relates to the subject because it shows the transformation of one thing to another.

Proportion & Scale

1. The orders: The oldest and simplest of the three main orders of classical Greek architecture.

2. Scale: refers to the proportion or ratio that defines the size relationships.

This photo relates to the subject because it shows a difference in scale by placeing 2 items next to each other.

Circulation

1. Building Approach: Ways that you approach a building.

This photo relates to the subject because it shows you a way that you can approach a building.

Spatial Relationships:

     

1. Space within a space: Having a space with a different function inside of another space with its own function.

2. Interlocking Spaces: Spaces that connect and join together in one space.

3. Adjacent spaces: Spaces that are directly next to each other.

4. Spaces linked by a common space: A hallway or breezeway that connects two spaces.

Spatial Organization:

1. Linear organization: Lining up objects in a repetitive pattern in a way that it implies a line is being made.

Chapter 3: Form & Space

Defining space with Horizontal Elements

Base Planes: A change in color/texture in a space.

http://www.funkyrugs.co.uk/shop/customer/product.php?productid=1719

 

Elevated Planes: Notes a change in the space for a different activity.

 

http://www.gastage.com/ga-stage-stage-curtains.html

 

Depressed Planes: Informs the visitir that a new activity is happening in an area in that space. As the space despresses it creates walls.

 

http://www.coolfunpics.com/slides/Dive_In_Empty_Pool.html

 

 

Overhead Planes: Gives its view a sense of shelter, defines volume within a space.

Defining a space with Vertical Linear Elements

 

Single Vertical Planes: A plane that can create boundaries, zones and modify height to increase or decrease enclosure or seperation.

 

http://www.biid.org.uk/member/stavedene-interior-designers/project/project-2/5

L-shaped Planes: Directional shelter that emphasizes its opposite end and creates circulation.

http://forth.stir.ac.uk/~pmbc1/court-photos.html

Parallel Planes: Defines a space with a strong sense of direction that makes you move through the space.

U-Shaped Planes:  Frames something outside of itself and edefines a space with a sense of escape..

Four Plane Closure: Self sufficient space that has no openings and keeps people out.

Chapter 1: Primary Elements

1. Point

       Definition: A small cylindrical object that is round in nature.

       Diagram: 

 

http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/40600/40679/geo-10_40679.htm

  

    Illustration: I used a floor plan with columns to represent points. Where you see full black dots, those are columns being displayed on a floor plan. They represent columns this way, because columns are round in nature and would look this way if you were looking at then from an aerial view.

                                       

                                                                         http://www.grisb.org/plans/plan2.htm

2. Line

   Definition: A continuous mark from point A to point B.

   Diagram:

                                              

                                                    :http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/File:Straight_Line_Steady.svg

 

   Illustration: I chose an illustration of a, what seems to be an enormous wooden pole. I chose this image because, its funny and its represents a line. It is a continuous pole from point A(top) to point B (bottom).

3. Plane

   Definition: A flat 2-dimensional surface. Can be made visually by a series of lines or shapes.
   Diagram:                  

                                     
                                                              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Planes_parallel.svg

                                 

  Illustration: This repetition of wires creates a plane.With them being so close together, it forces your eye to look at them as a whole.
                                           

                                                     

4. Volume

    Definition: an object or space that has dimension and depth to it.

    Diagram:

 

                                      http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/nodesRef.html                                                     

                                            

  Illustration: I chose a column to show volume. This column is round and thick. The thickness gives the column volume.
