It is the primary identifying characteristic of a volume. It is established by the shapes and interrelationships of planes that describe the boundaries of the volume.
(a)
The characteristic outline or surface configuration of a particular form.
Shape
Size
Color
Texture
Position
The Physical dimensions of length, width and depth of a form. While these dimensions determine the proportions of a form, its scale is determined by its size relative to other forms in its context.
Shape
Size
Color
Texture
Position
A phenomenon of light and visual perception that may be described in terms of an individual’s perception of hue, saturation, and tonal value.
Shape
Size
Color
Texture
Position
The visual and especially tactile quality given to a surface by the size, shape, arrangement, and proportions of the parts.
Shape
Size
Color
Texture
Position
The location of a form relative to its environment or the visual field within which it is seen.
Shape

Color
Texture
Position
The degree of concentration and stability of a form.
Visual Inertia
Surface
Sphere
Hemisphere
Orientation
It refers to any figure having only two dimensions, such as a flat plane. The term, however, can also allude to a curved two-dimensional locus of points defining the boundary of a three-dimensional solid.
Visual Inertia
Surface
Sphere
Hemisphere
Orientation
The direction of a form relative to the ground plane, the compass points, other forms, or to the person viewing the form.
Visual Inertia
Surface
Sphere
Hemisphere
Orientation
A solid generated by the revolution of a semicircle about its diameter, whose surface is at all points equidistant from the center.
Sphere
Hemisphere
Cylinder
Cut horizontally in half. Cut portion forms an edge, circular in plan. The dome and the edge portion give the visual character.
Sphere
Hemisphere
Cylinder
A solid generated by the revolution of a rectangle about one of its sides.
Sphere
Hemisphere
Cylinder
A solid generated by the revolution of a right triangle about one of its sides.
Cone
Pyramid
Cube
A polyhedron having a polygonal base and triangular faces meeting at a common point or vertex.
Cone
Pyramid
Cube
A prismatic solid bounded by six equal square sides, the angle between any two adjacent faces being a right angle.
Cone
Pyramid
Cube
Four vertical planes encompassing a field of space is probably the most typical, and certainly the strongest, type of spatial definition in architecture.
(a)
A large space can envelop and contain a smaller space within its volume.
Space within a Space
Interlocking Spaces
Adjacent Spaces
Spaces Linked by a Common Space
An interlocking spatial relationship results from the overlapping of two spatial fields and the emergence of a zone of shared space.
Space within a Space
Interlocking Spaces
Adjacent Spaces
Spaces Linked by a Common Space
It is the most common type of spatial relationship. It allows each space to be clearly defined and to respond, each in its own way, to specific functional or symbolic requirements.
Space within a Space
Interlocking Spaces
Adjacent Spaces
Spaces Linked by a Common Space
Two spaces that are separated by distance can be linked or related to each other by a third, intermediate, space. The visual and spatial relationship between the two spaces depends on the nature of the third space with which they share a common bond
Space within a Space
Interlocking Spaces
Adjacent Spaces
Spaces Linked by a Common Space
A central, dominant space about which a number of secondary spaces are grouped.
Centralized Organization
Linear Organization
Radial Organization
Clustered Organization
Grid Organization
A linear sequence of repetitive spaces.
Centralized Organization
Linear Organization
Radial Organization
Clustered Organization
Grid Organization
A central space from which linear organizations of space extend in a radial manner.
Centralized Organization
Linear Organization
Radial Organization
Clustered Organization
Grid Organization
Spaces grouped by proximity or the sharing of a common visual trait or relationship.
Centralized Organization
Linear Organization
Radial Organization
Clustered Organization
Grid Organization
Spaces organized within the field of a structural grid or other three-dimensional framework.
Centralized Organization
Linear Organization
Radial Organization
Clustered Organization
Grid Organization
A state of equilibrium between contrasting, opposing, or interacting elements.
(a)
A unifying movement characterized by a patterned repetition or alternation of formal elements or motifs in the same or a modified form.
(a)
A line established by two points in space, about which forms and spaces can be arranged in a symmetrical or balanced manner.
(a)
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.
(a)
A line, plane, or volume that, by its continuity and regularity, serves to gather, measure, and organize a pattern of forms and spaces.
(a)
It is the oneness and indicates harmony Among the different building elements. It imparts coherence of the parts and integrity of the whole.
(a)
The pleasing arrangement of parts or combination of parts in a composition.
(a)
It is the emphasis of certain part of the building or highlight certain parts in the building. This creates visual interest and focus in the composition.
(a)
Dominance can be achieved by:
By Contrast
By Massing
By Ornamentation
By Color
By Positioning
Breaking the visual hierarchy using form to lay emphasis.
Highlight
Colour
Size
To distinguish between elements in a series of similar forms.
Highlight
Colour
Size
Elements of different sizes focus the viewers' attention accordingly.
