Study Notes
Architectural Design Principles
- The reason behind a logical plan is referred to as the concept.
Plan Arrangement
- To achieve exterior symmetry or monumentality, plan elements can be arranged in a symmetrical or bilateral manner.
Plan Complexity
- The complexity of a plan is determined by the number of elements and their relationships.
Architectural Drawings
- Plans and elevations consist of a combination of lines, shapes, and spaces that define the building's form.
Composition Organization
- The establishment of an axis or 'iRes' is led by the need to organize the composition around a central point or line.
Principal Minor Axis
- The principal minor axis serves as a secondary focal point, providing balance and harmony to the composition.
Organic Plan
- An 'organic' plan in architecture implies a free-flowing, curvilinear, and natural form, often inspired by natural shapes.
Emphasis
- 'Emphasis' in architecture refers to the creation of a focal point or visual hierarchy to draw attention to a particular aspect of the design.
Radiation from a Single Point
- The purpose of 'radiation from a single point' is to create a centralized, radial composition that emphasizes the importance of a central element or axis.
Axial Arrangement
- The axial arrangement of a plan refers to the organization of elements along a central axis or line, creating a sense of symmetry and order.
