    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.
