Study Notes
Architecture and Design
- A theory is a system of assumptions or principles used to analyze, explain, or predict phenomena, and is proposed or followed as a basis of action.
- Architecture is the art, science, or profession of planning, designing, and constructing buildings, considering their environment, utility, strength, and beauty.
Building Identification
- Villa Savoye is a building designed by Le Corbusier.
- Einstein Tower is a building identified by a specific image.
Architectural Systems
- A structural system consists of a grid of columns supporting horizontal beams and slabs, with a cantilever acknowledging the direction of approach.
- A circulation system involves the stair and ramp penetrating and linking three levels, heightening the viewer's perception of forms in space and light.
- A spatial system integrates program elements and spaces, accommodating multiple functions and relationships.
- An enclosure system defines a rectangular volume containing program elements and spaces.
Design Elements
- Volume has three dimensions: length, width, and depth.
- Orientation of Amihan is north-east, while Habagat is south-west.
- The triangle shape signifies stability.
Design Principles
- Dimensional transformation involves altering one or more dimensions of a form while retaining its family identity.
- Spatial tension is a design concept demonstrated by a specific image.
- Edge to edge contact is a design concept demonstrated by a specific image.
- Interlocking volumes is a design concept demonstrated by a specific image.
