An extended point. Conceptually, a ___ has length,

but no width or depth. It is capable of visually

expressing direction, movement, and growth.

An extended line in a direction other than its intrinsic

direction. Conceptually, has length and width,

but no depth.

A plane extended in a direction other than its intrinsic

direction. Conceptually, has three

dimensions: length, width, and depth.

A method or manner of jointing that makes the united

parts clear, distinct, and precise in relation to each

other.

The formal structure of a work—the manner of

arranging and coordinating the elements and parts of

a composition so as to produce a coherent image.

The characteristic outline or surface

configuration of a particular form.

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.

The visual and especially tactile quality

given to a surface by the size, shape, arrangement, and proportions of the parts.

Also determines the degree to which the surfaces of a form

reflect or absorb incident light.

A phenomenon of light and visual

perception that may be described in

terms of an individual’s perception of

hue, saturation, and tonal value.

another word for color;

describes how light or dark

the color is;

relates to the feeling

of warmth or coolness the color

evokes;

measures the range of a

color from dull to vivid. Also called

chroma and saturation.

Any two colors opposite each other on

the wheel. For example, blue and orange,

or red and green.

Use three colors. The scheme takes one

color and matches it with the two colors

adjacent to its complementary color. For

example, blue, yellow-orange and redorange.

Any three colors next to each other on

the wheel. For example, orange, yelloworange,

and yellow.

Any three colors that are equally apart on

the color wheel. For example, red, yellow

and blue.

Uses four colors together, in the form of

two sets of complementary colors. For

example, blue and orange is paired with

yellow and violet.

come from adding white to

hues

mixing the hue with grey

use no color, just

shades of grey, black and white. Also

known as greyscale.

The location of a form relative to its

environment or the visual field within

which it is seen.

The direction of a form relative to the

ground plane, the compass points, other

forms, or to the person viewing the form.

The degree of concentration and stability

of a form. Depends on its geometry as well as its

orientation relative to the ground plane,

the pull of gravity, and our line of sight.

This is the first

phase of the circulation system, during which we are

prepared to see, experience, and use the spaces within

a building.

Entering a building, a room within a building, or a

defined field of exterior space, involves the act of

penetrating a vertical plane that distinguishes one

space from another and separates “here” from “there.”

Kinds of approach: Leads directly to the entrance of a

building along a straight, axial path. The

visual goal that terminates the approach

is clear.

Kinds of approach: Enhances the effect of perspective on

the front facade and form of a building.

Kinds of approach: Prolongs the sequence of the approach

and emphasizes the three-dimensional

form of a building as we move around its

perimeter.

Kinds of entrances: Maintains the continuity of the surface

of a wall and can be deliberately

obscured.

Kinds of entrances: Forms a transitional space, announces

its function to the approach, and

provides overhead shelter.

Kinds of entrances: Also provides shelter and receives a

portion of exterior space into the realm

of the building.

Kinds of configuration: All paths are linear. A straight path,

however, can be the primary organizing

element for a series of spaces. In

addition, it can be curvilinear or

segmented, intersect other paths, have

branches, or form a loop.

Kinds of configuration: has linear paths

extending from r terminating at a central,

common point.

Kinds of configuration: is a single,

continuous path that originates from a

central point, revolves around it, and

becomes increasingly distant from it.

Kinds of configuration: consists of two sets

of parallel paths that intersect at regular

intervals and create square or

rectangular fields of space.

Kinds of configuration: consists of

paths that connect established points in

space.

Path-space relationships: The integrity of each space is

maintained

Path-space relationships: The path may pass through a space

axially, obliquely, or along its edge

Path-space relationships: This path-space relationhip is used

to approach and enter functionally or

symbolically important spaces.

Form of the circulation space: Forming a public galleria or private

corridor that relates to the spaces it links

through entrances in a wall plane.

Form of the circulation space: Forming a balcony or gallery that

provides visual and spatial continuity

with the spaces it links.

Form of the circulation space: Forming a colonnaded passageway that

becomes a physical extension of the

space it passes through.

Principles of Design: They can visually unify the multiplicity of elements in an

architectural design by having all of its parts belong to

the same family of proportions.

Principles of Design: Opposition or juxtaposition of dissimilar elements in a

work of art to intensify each element’s properties and

produce a more dynamic expressiveness.

Principles of Design: A state of equilibrium between contrasting, opposing,

or interacting elements. Also the pleasing or

harmonious arrangement or proportion of parts or

elements in a design or composition.

Principles of Design: The exact correspondence in size, form, and

arrangement of parts on opposite sides of a dividing

line or plane, or about a center or axis.

Principles of Design: 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.

Principles of Design: Movement characterized by a patterned repetition or

alternation of formal elements or motifs in the same

or a modified form.

Principles of Design: The act or process of repeating formal elements or

motifs in a design.

Principles of Design: The size of something compared to a reference

standard or to the size of something else.

Proportioning Systems: what can be defined as

the ratio between two sections of a line,

or the two dimensions of a plane figure,

in which the lesser of the two is to the

greater as the greater is to the sum of

both.

Proportioning Systems: If the diagonals of two rectangles are

either parallel or perpendicular to each

other, they indicate that the two

rectangles have similar proportions.

These diagonals, as well as lines that

indicate the common alignment of

elements, are called

Proportioning Systems: the perfect

expression of beauty and harmony. The

basic unit of dimension was the

diameter of the column.

Proportioning Systems: The architects of the Renaissance,

believing that their buildings had to

belong to a higher order, returned to the

Greek mathematical system of

proportions.

Proportioning Systems: Le Corbusier developed this

proportioning system to order “the dimensions of that which contains and

that which is contained.” It is also based on mathematics and the proportions of the human body

Proportioning Systems: it was originally used simply to designate the interval between two

columns and varied in size, the ___ was soon standardized for residential

architecture.

Proportioning Systems: The size of a room is designated by the

number of its floor mats.

Proportioning Systems: refers to the

measurement of the size and

proportions of the human body.
