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.
