In architectural design, we manipulate three generic types of planes: (a)   , which can be either the roof or the ceiling plane. IDENTIFY ITEM 1 IN THE IMAGE (2 points)

In architectural design, we manipulate three generic types of planes: (a)   , because of its vertical orientation, it is active in our normal field of vision and vital to the shaping and enclosure of architectural space. IDENTIFY ITEM 2 IN THE IMAGE (2 points)

In architectural design, we manipulate three generic types of planes: (a)   ,can be either the ground plane that serves as the physical foundation and visual base for building forms, or the floor plane that forms the lower enclosing surface of a room upon which we walk. IDENTIFY ITEM 3 IN THE IMAGE (2 points)

THIS STRUCTURE IS ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST FAMOUS WORKS OF ARCHITECT FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, WE DESCRIBED THIS AS AN EXAMPLE OF A PLANAR ELEMENT. WHAT IS THE FAMOUSLY KNOWN NAME OF THIS PROJECT? (2 points)

(a)  

(a)   is the primary identifying characteristic of a volume. It is established by shapes and interrelationships of the planes that describe the boundaries of the volume. (1 point)

IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF TRANSFORMATION OF FORMS DESCRIBED IN THE STATEMENT: A form can be transformed by altering one or more of its dimensions and still retain its identity as a member of a family of forms. A cube, for example, can be transformed into similar prismatic forms through discrete changes in height, width, or length. It can be compressed into a planar form or be stretched out into a linear one. (2 points)

(a)  

IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF TRANSFORMATION OF FORMS DESCRIBED IN THE STATEMENT:

A form can be transformed by removing a portion of its volume. a cube can retain its identity as a cube even though a portion of it is removed, or be transformed into a series of regular polyhedrons that begin to approximate a sphere. (2 points)

(a)  

IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF TRANSFORMATION OF FORMS DESCRIBED IN THE STATEMENT:

The nature of this process and the number and relative sizes of the elements being attached determine whether the identity of the initial form is altered or retained. (2 points)

BASED ON OUR DISCUSSION OF PRIMARY SHAPES: The (a)   is a centralized, introverted figure that is normally stable and self-centering in its environment.

(1 point)

BASED ON OUR DISCUSSION OF PRIMARY SHAPES: The (a)   signifies stability. When tipped to stand on one of its vertices, however, it can either be balanced in a precarious state of equilibrium or be unstable and tend to fall over onto one of its sides. (1 point)

BASED ON OUR DISCUSSION OF TEXTURE, IDENTIFY WHAT IS BEING DESCRIBED: Appeals to our perception, what a texture might feel like. Through this type of texture a surface can create the illusion of a specific tactile texture or an added depth. Most textures have a naturalistic quality; they repeat a motif in a random way. A motif is any recurring thematic element or repeated figure in design. (2 points)

(a)  

BASED ON OUR DISCUSSION OF TEXTURE, IDENTIFY WHAT IS BEING DESCRIBED: Actual alterations in a plane which may be felt when touched. They are more three-dimensional and also depend on the familiarity of previous contact to establish texture. (2 points)

THIS STATEMENT BELONGS TO WHOM?: “…cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders, or pyramids are the great primary forms that light reveals to advantage; the image of these is distinct and tangible within us and without ambiguity. It is for this reason that these are beautiful forms, the most beautiful forms.” (3 points)

(a)  

BASED ON YOUR RSW MT-01 THIS STATEMENT BELONGS TO WHOM?: “Its severe, almost square exterior surrounds an intricate interior configura-tion glimpsed through openings and from protrusions above. . . . Its inside order accommodates the multiple functions of a house, domestic scale, and partial mystery inherent in a sense of privacy. Its outside order expresses the unity of the idea of house at an easy scale appropriate to the green field it dominated and possibly to the city it will one day be part of.” (3 points)
