Study Notes
Architecture as an Art
- Architecture is more than just buildings; it's a visual expression, a blend of art and technique, encompassing practical and expressive purposes.
- Architecture has a specific function, from basic shelter to urban infrastructure.
- Crucial elements of architecture include materials, line, color, shape, mass, texture, and space.
Materials
- Materials are crucial to the building's quality, longevity, and aesthetic appeal.
- Selection involves careful consideration and analysis to ensure structural integrity.
Line
- Lines are fundamental elements creating form and volume.
- Horizontal lines convey stability, vertical lines convey height and aspiration.
Color
- Color is a strategic tool to define and define a building's character and identity.
- It enhances forms, materials, and spatial divisions.
- Value (light or dark); Hue (pure state of color); Intensity (saturation of color).
Shape
- Shape is the two-dimensional representation of a form.
- Shapes evoke emotions and create the initial impression.
- Types include geometric (square, triangle, circle), natural, abstract, and non-objective.
Mass
- Mass is the three-dimensional aspect of shapes.
- Primary mass is the building's bulk or form.
- Secondary mass is of smaller components (floors, walls, ceilings).
Texture
- Texture is the surface quality perceived through sight and touch.
- It establishes a building's initial aesthetic appeal.
Space
- Space involves transforming undefined areas into functional spaces.
- Its effective use entails understanding the psychological impact of space:
- Claustrophobia: fear of enclosure
- Agoraphobia: fear of open spaces
- Positive space: enclosed, solid form; Negative space: voids enclosed by the form.
Architectural Forms
- Architectural form is the point of contact between mass and space, expressing a building's spirit and quality.
- It encompasses shape, layout, points, lines, planes, volumes, textures, materials, light, and color.
- Regular forms: evenly distributed elements creating a calm appearance;
- Irregular forms: varied elements, often contrasting.
- Mix forms: combining regular and irregular elements.
- Nature-inspired forms: drawing inspiration from nature.
- Unusual forms: unique and unexpected shapes.
Architectural Style
- Architectural style emphasizes aesthetic ideals and effects, focusing on design elements that make a building unique.
- Styles include Gothic, Romanesque, Beaux-Arts, Neoclassical, Rococo, Neo-Mudejar, East Asian, and Contemporary.
