2. Figure Ground th e ory Figure ground theory states that the space that results from Figure should be considered as carefully as figures itself The concept of figure ground perception emerged out of the field of gesalt psychology. For example if you look at shapes drawn on a piece of paper, your mind will likely group the shapes in terms of things such as similarity proximity. Object that are similar to each other are tend to be grouped together also, the objects which are near to each other tends to be grouped together. Figure – ground perception precedes all other visual perceptual skills and is one of the first to develop in a young baby.[13] The development of perceptual organization develops as early as infancy in human beings.

3. Figure–ground organization is used to help artists and designers in composition of a 2D piece. Figure–ground reversal may be used as an intentional visual design technique in which an existing image’s foreground and background colors are purposely swapped to create new images. EXAMPLES OF FIGURE GROUND THEORY

4. The most important And difficult skill for a designer to develop is being process oriented.

5. Seeking to understand a design problem before chasing after solutions. Not force-fitting solutions to old problems onto new problems. Removing yourself from prideful investment in your projects and being slow to fall in love with your ideas. Making design investigations and decisions holistically (that address several aspects of a design problem at once) rather than sequentially (that finalize one aspect of a solution before investigating the next). Making design decisions conditionally — that is, with the awareness that they may or may not work out as you continue toward a final solution. Knowing when to change and when to stick with previous decisions. Accepting as normal the anxiety that comes from not knowing what to do.

6. Failure is a necessary component of creativity. Improving as designers will inevitably present difficulties, and what gets us to succes is resilience. We can become more intuitive by solving wildly divergent design problems in a disciplined manner.

7. Columns are not merely structural elements; they are tools for organizing and shaping space. A column or pillar in architecture and structural element that transmits, through compression, the weight of the structure above to other structural elements below in other words, a column is a compression member . Although their primary purpose is of course structural, columns are invaluable in other ways: a row of columns can define the spaces on one side as different from those on the other side; distinguish circulation pathways from gathering spaces; act as a “wayfinding” element in a building interior; or serve as a rhythmic element on a building exterior.

8. Classification of columns Based on Shape Based on type of reinforcement Based on type of loading Based on slenderness ratio

9. How to make architectural hand lettering Main thing while making architectural hand lettering is guide lines. We should be consistent and legible. Horizontal strokes should be slightly tilt upward or else the letters will look tired. We should emphasize on begging and end of all the strokes. Give careful attention to the amount of space in the letters. By giving curved strokes we can see balloon like fullness.

10. Daylight from NORTH-facing windows tends to be shadowless , diffuse , and neutral or slightly grayish most of the day and year. Daylight from th e EAST is strongest in the morning. It tends to be of low altitude, with soft , long shadows, and gray-yellow in color . Daylight from the SOUTH is dominant from late morning to mid-afternoon. It tends to render colors accurately and cast strong, crisp shadows . Daylight from the WEST is strongest in the late afternoon and early evening and has a rich gold-orange cast. It can penetrate deeply into buildings and occasionally be overbearing . The altitude, angle, and color of daylighting varies with compass orientation and time of day In the northern hemisphere:
