4. Architecture Architectural Design T he method of organizing materials and forms in a specific way to satisfy a defined purpose Two key aspects of human involvement in the design process T he architect Contributes to the process of; I nterpretation of the building requirement C reation of the design Design originality stemming from personal style which defines the work as individual and unique Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 4

5. Architecture Architectural Design The user The user contributes to the process by provision of a clearly defined set of needs Defines the use of completed structure , effecting various aspects of architectural design that contribute to its success Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 5 Source : The End Days of Advertisings “http:// enddaysofadvertising.tumblr.com /”

6. Elements of Architectural Design Elements of Architectural Design Design elements are those which can be defined as specific "parts" of a design Architectural design elements include : • Line • Shape • Mass • Color • Space • Texture • Materials Note: Though these elements are reviewed independently, it should be remembered that they are inherently linked, acting on and contributing to each other's influence in the design solution.

7. Elements of Architectural Design Line The use of a line represents the most basic of architectural design elements It is the visual direction of a design Lines can provide emphasis or symbolism related to the design intent It can be used to emphasize a pleasing element or disguise an undesirable one The use of lines on a plain surface can lessen the massing effect, breaking the bulk down into smaller perceived pieces Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 7

8. Elements of Architectural Design Types of Lines Different types of lines have different effects on design Vertical – Represent dignity, formality, stability, and strength Vertical lines can make rooms seem more spacious than they actually are and ceilings appear higher Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 8 Source : Kid Space Stuff, “http:// www.kidspacestuff.com /blog/2013/11/kids-room-pattern-essentials-stripes/”

9. Elements of Architectural Design Types of Lines Horizontal – Represent calm, peace, and relaxation Horizontal lines can make buildings , rooms, and furniture seem wider and shorter Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 9 Source : “ http:// scapewallpaper.com /painting-stripes-bedroom-walls/”

10. Elements of Architectural Design Types of Lines Diagonal – Represent action, activity and movement Diagonal lines can be perceived tiring and should be used sparingly in design Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 10 Source : “ https :// www.pinterest.com /pin/367254544584464042/ ”

11. Elements of Architectural Design Types of Lines Curved – Represent freedom, the nature, and creates a soothing feeling or mood Curved lines add a softening , graceful effect to designs Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 11

12. Elements of Architectural Design Line In design, one type of line should dominate, while o thers can be added for interest For example, if horizontal lines dominate a room, accessories with diagonal or curved lines may be added .

13. Elements of Architectural Design Line Line features are related to our perception of the natural and created environment Lines that curve and appear to flow are perceived to be more in keeping with natural elements, establishing a connection between ourselves (the viewer) and natural world Lines that reflect straight geometric movements are perceived to be hard and rigid Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 13

14. Elements of Architectural Design Shape (2D)The two-dimensional contour that characterizes an object or area Shape is the outline or basic form of a structure that is the simplest to perceive in built form It evokes a responsive emotion in the viewer, providing the "first" affect of the building Architects utilize different shapes to create an emotion in accordance with the intended design solution Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 14

15. Elements of Architectural Design Shape Shapes can be categorized in four distinct types: geometric, natural, abstract and non-objective. Geometric shape: Consists of the basic shapes – square, triangle and circle These basic shapes dominate our built environment as almost every building appearance can be derived from them They are considered to be "perfect" shapes and therefore evoke a sense of stability and order Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 15

16. Elements of Architectural Design Shape Natural shape Consists of design shapes that replicate or imitate items found within our natural environment This reproduction/imitation of the natural form is completed without artistic interpretation or aberration of the shape – it is direct Natural shapes used may be found either in human form, animal and plant shapes as well as geographic and landscape forms Department of Civil Engineering, MUST 16 A Shell
