What is Architecture?
• the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings • is both the process and the product of planning, designing and constructing buildings and other structures
What are the Elements of Architecture? 1.
Point- marks a position in space - no length, width or depth, and is therefore static, centralized, directionless
2.
Line- is a critical element in the formation of any visual construction - can serve to join, link, support, surround, or intersect other visual elements. It describe the edges of and give shape to planes
3.
Plane- has length and width, but no depth. Planes in architecture define three-dimensional volumes of mass and space
4.
Volume- has three dimensions: length, width, and depth and can be analyzed and understood to consist of: points or vertices where several planes come together, lines or edges where two planes meet, planes or surfaces which define the limits or boundaries of a volume
What are the Principles of Architecture? 1. Firmatis (Durability)- It should stand up robustly and remain in good condition 2. Utilitas (Utility)- It should be useful and function well for the people using it. 3. Venustasis (Beauty)- It should delight people and raise their spirits
8 Principles of Design 1.
Balance- refers to the arrangement of the artwork in a way that does not allow any one element to overpower another. Large areas are not left blank without an equally full area to balance the piece.
2.
Unity- refers to how well one element functions with the remaining elements. A painting of a freshwater fish tank would appear divided were it to include elements seen in a saltwater fish tank.
3.
Contrast- refers to the use of conflicting elements or colors while still remaining harmonious and unified when the artwork is viewed as a whole.
4.
Variety- pertains to the different types of elements used in a piece–for example, small and large elements, as well as black and white elements.
5.
Movement- the path the eye follows when viewing a piece of art, or the elements in a work that create movement.
6.
Harmony- refers to the use of similar or consistent elements.
7.
Proportion- sometimes called “scale,” this principle refers to the size of elements in a design.
8.
Rhythm- is more readily noticed when it incorporates patterns, but the general definition is the repetition of elements or the use of lines to give the impression of energy or activity.
5 Elements of Design 1.
Line- enclose and contain the parts of a design by creating outlines.
2.
Shapes- is any enclosed space defined by lines or in contrast to its surroundings.
3.
Mass- is a solid body or a grouping of visual elements (line, color, texture, etc.) that compose a solid form.
4.
Texture- a technique used in twodimensional design to replicate threedimensional surfaces through various drawing and media techniques.
5.
Color- creates a mood within the piece and tells a story about the brand.
7 Elements of Interior Design 1. Space- acts as a foundation on which the entire interior design plan is built, its dimension and utilities
Space is divided into two types namely – Two Dimensional Space which covers the floor (includes length and width) and Three Dimensional Space which forms the living space (includes length, width and height). 2.
Line- give birth to forms and shapes and are responsible for establishing a sense of harmony, contrast and unity. They define shapes and act as visual guides of an interior space. Lines are broadly categorized into three types – Horizontal, Vertical and Dynamic.
3.
Forms- mean shapes in general, an outline of any three dimensional object in the space and can be accentuated with the help of other elements like texture, patterns and colors. - Geometric (man-made) - Natural (organic)
4.
Light- sets in the mood and ambiance into a living space and highlights the every other element including space, line and forms. - Task Lighting - Accent Lighting - Mood Lighting
5.
Color- establish an aesthetic connection between objects and set the mood. Colors must be chosen based on the psychology and the mindset of the dweller.
6.
Texture- mainly deals with surfaces and determines how a typical surface looks and feels. Texture adds depth and interest into a living space and defines the feel or appearance and consistency of a surface. - Visual Texture - Actual Texture
7.
Pattern- adds the elements of continuity and smooth transition in a living space. Patterns could be of any shape and mostly comprise of attractive and repetitive designs.
