Emphasis : Principles of design

architectural principles of design:
emphasis through
-Contrast
-Isolation
-Placement
-Absence of a focal point
-Repetition

1. Principles of design

2. emphAsis For a form or space to be expressed as being important or significant to an composition, it must be made uniquely visible. i.e. emphasized.

3. Visual emphasis can be achieved through Contrast Isolation Placement Absence of a focal point Repetition

4. isolation

5. contrast

6. Placement

7. Absence of focal point

8. Repetition

9. Emphasis in architecture can be achieved through exceptional size a unique shape a strategic location

10. exceptional size

11. Unique shape

12. Strategic location

13. Balance is a simple visual concept that relates to our experience of physical balance. Balance

14. Types of balance Axial symmetrical balance. Biaxial symmetrical balance Radial balance Asymmetrical balance

15. Axial symmetrical balance Arranging visually equal elements on both sides of a single axis

16. Biaxial symmetrical balance Arranging visually equal elements in each of the four quadrants created by a pair of crossed axes

17. Radial balance Arranging visually equal elements at an equal distance from a center point and spaced at an equal distance apart from one another

18. Asymmetrical balance Arranging visually un equal elements around a point such that their visual weight of each element multiplied times their distance from the point of balance all equal one another

19. Balance in architecture

20. RHYTHM

21. RHYTHM IN DESIGN   Rhythm is the repetition or alternation of elements, often with defined intervals between them. Rhythm can create a sense of movement, and can establish pattern and texture. 

22. KINDS OF RHYTHM

23. KINDS OF RHYTHM Regular A regular rhythm occurs when the intervals between the elements,and often the elements themselves, are similar in size or length

24. Flowing A flowing rhythm gives a sense of movement, and is often more organic in nature

25. Progressive A progressive rhythm shows a sequence of forms through a progression of steps

26. RHYTHM IN ARCHITECTURE

27. REPETITION OF DIFFERENCES IN THIS RHYTHMICAL SERIES, THE ASCENDING AND DESCENDING PROGRESSIONS ARE BUILT UP FROM SMALL TO LARGE AND TO SMALL AGAIN.

28. REPETITION OF LINES VARIATIONS OF LINEAR LENGTHS OF CURVATURES.

29. REPETITION OF DIMENSIONS SUCH AS THE DIMENSIONS BETWEEN SUPPORTS AND BAY SPACING.

30. REPETITION OF SHAPES REPETITION OF CONSTRUCTIVE ELEMENTS.

31. REPETITION REPETITION is the use of similar or connected pictorial elements. For example, similar shapes, colors or lines that are used more than once

32. regular or irregular and even or uneven. in the form of RADIATION where the repeated elements spread out from a central point. in the form of GRADATION where the repeated elements slowly become smaller or larger. REPETITION CAN BE

33. REGULAR REPETITION

34. +REGULAR REPETITION

35. IRREGULAR REPETITION

36. IN THE FORM OF RADIATION

37. REPITION THROUGH GRADIATION REPITION THROUGH GRADIATION REPITION THROUGH GRADIATION REPETITION TROUGH GRADIATION

38. REPETITION IN ARCHITECTURE

39. IRREGULAR REPETITION

40. REGULAR REPETITION

41. RADIAl REPETITION
