Study Notes
Activities of Man
- Architecture embodies mankind's fundamental desires: preservation, recognition, response, and self-expression.
- The etymology combines "Archi" (Great) and "Tekton" (Builder), defining architecture as the work of a significant builder.
Influence of Nature
- Key natural influences on architecture include climate and topography.
- Materials play a crucial role in shaping architectural designs.
Architectural Knowledge
- Architecture is defined as the product of architects' designs, incorporating various elements such as space and user-environment interaction.
- Three pillars of design thinking: utility (commodity), structure (firmness), and beauty (delight).
Principles of Design
- Essential principles include linear forms, corner utilization, and creating enclosed spaces connected to the outdoors.
- A linear configuration can establish site corners and define spatial fields through plane manipulation.
Articulation of Forms
- Designs involve points (corners), planes (surfaces), and lines (edges), affecting the spatial experience.
- U-shaped configurations focus inward and create secondary zones through strategic openings.
Elements of Design
- Lines: Vertical lines signify dignity, horizontal lines denote calm, while diagonal lines suggest action. Curved lines imply softness and freedom.
- Texture: Smooth surfaces reflect more light; rough surfaces evoke more intensity and authenticity.
Space and Rhythm
- Utilization of space in design can enlarge or reduce visual perception.
- Rhythm in design is achieved through repetition of line, shape, color, and texture, with types including regular, random, and graduated patterns.
Emphasis in Design
- Focal points are created by emphasizing features through size, shape, and color.
- Effectiveness in branding and identity is highlighted by strategic emphasis.
Color Psychology in Architecture
- Human perception of color is total, influencing psychological and physiological responses.
- Colors like red evoke passion but can also appear overwhelming or aggressive; yellow is stimulating and bright, denoting joy or agitation.
Specific Color Associations
- Pink can evoke warmth but must be balanced to avoid overstimulation.
- Black signifies power and depth, often creating an ominous presence in design.
Bezold Effect
- This phenomenon describes how color perception is affected by its surrounding colors, influencing how colors are seen in various contexts.
- The visible size and brightness of color can vary based on backgrounds, impacting architectural perception.
Importance of Color Usage
- Consideration of family tolerance for color is essential in residential design, balancing emotional and psychological effects.
- Effective color application is vital for creating desired atmospheres in various environments.
