9/19/2022 PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN ▪ POINT ▪ LINE ▪ PLANE ▪ VOLUME PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN ▪ POINT ▫ zero dimension ▫ Indicates position in space 1  9/19/2022 PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN ▪ LINE ▫ 1 D – point extended becomes a line ▫ properties ▫ length ▫ direction ▫ position PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN ▪ PLANE ▫ 2 D ‐ line extended becomes a plane ▫ properties ▫ length ▫ width ▫ shape ▫ surface ▫ orientation ▫ position PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN ▪ PLANE 1. 2D shape is the primary identifying characteristics of a plane. 2. Supplementary properties are surface, color, pattern, texture, affecting visual weight and stability. 3. Plane serves to define the limits or boundaries of a volume. 2  9/19/2022 PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN ▪ PLANE ▫ Planes in architecture define three-dimensional volumes of mass and space. The properties of each plane—size, shape, color, texture —as well as their spatial relationship to one another ultimately determine the visual attributes of the form they define and the qualities of the space they enclosed. PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN ▪ PLANE ▫ Three generic type of plane manipulating architectural design. ▫ OVERHEAD PLANE ▫ WALL PLANE ▫ BASE PLANE PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN ▪ VOLUME ▫ 3 D - a plane extended becomes a volume ▫ Properties ▫ Length ▫ Width ▫ Depth ▫ Form ▫ Space ▫ Surface ▫ Orientation ▫ position 3  9/19/2022 PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN ▪ VOLUME 1. Form is the primary identifying characteristics of a volume. 2. Established by shapes & interrelationship of planes. 3. A volume can be solid space displaced by mass or void contained by planes. 4
