Study Notes

Primary Elements of Design

Four fundamental elements: point, line, plane, and volume.

Point

Defined as having zero dimensions.
Serves to indicate a specific position in space.

Line

Represents one dimension; formed when a point is extended into a line.
Key properties include:
- Length
- Direction
- Position

Plane

A two-dimensional shape; occurs when a line is extended.
Key properties include:
- Length
- Width
- Shape
- Surface characteristics
- Orientation
- Position
Supplementary properties significantly affect visual weight and stability of the design.

Role of Plane in Architecture

Planes define the boundaries of three-dimensional volumes.
Properties of planes (size, shape, color, texture) influence visual attributes and the qualities of enclosed spaces.
Defines the mass and space in architectural design.

Types of Planes

Three generic types of planes are essential for manipulating architectural design, each impacting the overall aesthetic and spatial relationship within structures.
