    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.
