2 APPLICATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY Principles of Design

3 Architecture What is Architecture? Architecture is the art, science, and profession of planning, designing, and supervising the construction of new buildings, landscapes, communities, and furnishings in their totality, examining their environment in accordance with the principles of utility, strength, and aesthetics.

4 What are some Principles of Design? There are six (6) Principles of Design. You have already been introduced to one of them in the previous lesson. AxisBalance Hierarchy (Emphasis)Rhythm Unity Transformation The following are the remaining Principles of Design:

5 Axis Teotihuacan (City of the Gods, Mexico Pyramids of the Sun &Moon, Avenue of the Dead, citadel, and market. An axis is a line established by two points in space about which forms and spaces can be arranged in a symmetrical or balanced manner.

6 Balance Symmetry: balanced distribution of equivalent forms, shapes, or spaces on opposite sides of a dividing line or plane, or about a center or axis Types of Symmetry Bilateral Radial Asymmetry

7 Balance Monticello, Thomas Jefferson Charlottesville, VA Bilateral symmetry: one plane dividing the whole arrangement into identical halves

8 Balance Radial symmetry: similar halves at any angle around a centerpoint or along a central axis Villa Rotunda, Palladio Vicenza, Italy

9 Balance The difference between Symmetry and Asymmetry

10 Balance Asymmetry: creating visual balance without parts being identical

11 Unity Unity: Consistent use of colors, lines, shapes, forms, or textures to create a cohesive design. How is Unity created in this picture?

12 Unity It is hard to detect the notes and relative pitches of the music above without a staff. The staff is used as a datum to organize the spacing of notes and to accentuate the difference between a series of notes.

13 Unity Unity can also be achieved by organizing shapes and forms around of a building around a line, plane or volume or within a shape or form. Hallway Rooms

14 Unity Phillip Exeter Academy Library Louis Kahn Exeter, New Hampshire

15 Unity How is Unity created in this picture?

16 Rhythm Rhythm: patterned repetition/alteration of lines, forms, shapes, colors, or textures in the same or modified form. Unite d’Habitation Le Corbusier Structural patterns incorporate repetition.

17 Rhythm In the case of the Sydney Opera house, we witness reverberating patterns. The Victorian houses show multiple rhythms laid over one another in the façade of a building. Sydney Opera House, John Utzon Sydney, Australia Victorian Houses San Fransisco, California

18 Rhythm Rhythm can be RandomGraduatedRegular

19 Hierarchy (Emphasis) Hierarchy: articulating the importance of a form/space by its size, shape, or placement relative to other shapes/forms of the organization. Hierarchy by SizeHierarchy by ShapeHierarchy by Placement

20 Hierarchy (Emphasis) Catherdral dominates urban landscape in Florence, Italy Olivetti Training School James Stiling Haslemere, England

21 Hierarchy (Emphasis) Legislative Assembly Building Le Corbusier Punjab, India Hierarchy may also be achieved through color.
