2. Contents What is an axis ? What are the types of axes ? What are the uses in architecture? What role does it play?

3. Axis : A line established by two points in space, about which forms and spaces can be arranged in a symmetrical or balanced manner What is Axis? Axis can be created by 4 ways

4. 1. Since an axis is essentially a linear condition, it has qualities of length and direction, and induces movement and promotes views along its path.

5. 2.For its definition, an axis must be terminated at both of its ends by a significant form or space.

6. 3. The notion of an axis can be reinforced by defining edges along its length. These edges can be simply lines on the ground plane, or vertical planes that define a linear space coincident with the axis .

7. 4. An axis can also be established simply by a symmetrical arrangement of forms and spaces . Northern Palace at Masada
