Study Notes

Topic 1: Space and Design Elements

  • Space can be inner or outer, two-dimensional (like a window) or three-dimensional (like a pool).
  • Horizontal planes define space:
    • Base plane: a horizontal plane on a contrasting background, visually reinforced by elevated, depressed, or overhead planes.
    • Elevated base plane: a horizontal plane above the ground plane.
    • Depressed base plane: a horizontal plane below the ground plane.
    • Overhead plane: a horizontal plane above the ground plane.
  • Vertical planes define space:
    • Single vertical plane: a single plane articulating space.
    • L-shaped plane: an L-shaped configuration of vertical planes.
    • Parallel planes: two parallel vertical planes.
    • U-shaped plane: a U-shaped configuration.

Topic 2: Organization of Spaces

  • Types of spatial organization: centralized, linear, radial, clustered, grid.

Topic 3: Circulation and Movement

  • Approach (distant view):
    • Frontal: direct approach to entrance.
    • Oblique: approach enhances perspective.
  • Spiral: a path emphasizing the building's three-dimensional form.

Topic 4: Anthropometrics

  • Study of human body measurements, considering average dimensions and variations, affecting space design for movement, activity, and rest.

Topic 5: Proportion and Scale

  • Proportion: harmonious relationship between shapes.
  • Scale: size relative to a reference.
  • Golden Ratio: mathematical ratio for aesthetically pleasing proportions.

Topic 6: Color Theory

  • Psychological effects of colors:
    • Red: stimulating, passionate, aggressive.
    • Blue: calming, intellectual, trustworthy.
    • Yellow: optimistic, confident, creative.
    • Green: balanced, restful, harmonious.
    • Violet: spiritual, introspective, luxurious.
    • Orange: warm, comforting, passionate.
    • Pink: nurturing, feminine, soothing.
    • Grey: neutral, lacking emotion.
    • Black: sophisticated, serious, oppressive.
    • White: pure, clean, sterile.
    • Brown: earthy, reliable, warm.

Topic 7: Proxemics and Territoriality

  • Proxemics: study of spatial relationships between people.
  • Categories of space: intimate, personal, social, public.
  • Territoriality: claiming and defending space.
  • Uses for architectural signage: branding, directional, ADA compliant, visual, wall, and regulatory signage.

Topic 8: Signs and Symbols

  • Signs: objects or gestures with specific meanings.
  • Symbols: representations of ideas or beliefs.
  • Cultural basis: designing architecture within a specific cultural context.
