Study Notes
Massing
- A unified composition of two-dimensional shapes or three-dimensional volumes, especially one that has or gives the impression of weight, density, and bulk.
Chimney Effect
- The tendency of air or gas in a shaft or other vertical space to rise when heated, creating a draft that draws in cooler air gas from below.
Dimensional Transformation
- A form can be transformed by altering one or more of its dimensions and still retain it as a member of a family of a form.
Hierarchy
- The articulation of the importance or significance of a form or space by its size, shape, or placement relative to the other forms and spaces of the organization.
Five Points of Architecture
- An Architectural manifesto by the Swiss-French architect, a set of principles for a modern buildings.
Golden Section
- The division of a line so that the whole is to the greater part as that part is to the smaller part (i.e in a ratio of 1 to 1/2 (square root of 5 + 1)), a proportion which is considered to be particularly pleasing to the eye.
Analogous Color Scheme
- It uses colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. One color is used as a dominant color while others are used to enrich the scheme.
2nd Book
- In Four Books of Architecture, the second book discusses the private town houses and country estates.
Articulation
- This refers to the manner in which the surfaces of a form come together to define its shape and volume. It clearly reveals the precise nature of its parts and their relationships to each other and to the whole.
Free facade
- A consequence of concrete frame construction. Because walls were then deprived of their constructional role, their design became free as well.
Rhythm by repetition
- If equally-spaced windows are introduced on the unbroken wall, then regular repetition is present.
The Modulor
- In 1942, Le Corbusier began his study and published "The Modulor" - a Harmonious Measure to the human scale universally applicable to Architecture and Mechanics.

- A color that feels flat and lifeless, yet it provides enormous support to the other hues.
