LECTURE 8 & 9 Flashcards
Good planning is not the placing of areas together in an aimless way. A logical plan must have a reason behind it – “a parti”, or scheme.
PLAN COMPOSITION SCHEME
A logical plan must have a reason behind it
“a parti” or scheme.
This direction is related to the shape and to the relative importance of the sides which bound the plan.
AXIAL ARRANGEMENTS
This development of direction leads to the establishment of axis or lines about which the composition is organized.
AXIAL ARRANGEMENTS
It will also be found that the _____ are sometimes called “Transverse” or “Cross” which cuts the plan in its shortest direction and “Longitudinal” which extends through the length of the composition
AXIS
An axis is sometimes called
transverse or cross
A plan, to be worthy of the name, must be
organic
A plan should have contrast of size, shape, character, direction, balance and?
emphasis
It is often desirable to direct a structure which will house a single important object or to have one unit of the plan give emphasis to one particular phase of the activity which is to be carried on within
emphasis
secondary principles
a.) repetition
b.) alternation
c.) transition
d.) transformation
may be present when a number of room of equal size and shape occur side by side, or when windows, columns, or arches are spaced in a regular manner to give unaccented rhythm.
Repetition
a synonym for contrast. There may be alternating sizes of rectangular elements or alternation of shapes.
alternation
a satisfactory progression from one unit to another.
transition
Small vestibules protect and act as buffers for the lobby as it allows the visitor to become adjusted to the situation which confronts him upon entering the building
transition
allows a designer to select a prototypical architectural model whose formal structure and ordering of elements might be appropriate and reasonable, and to transform it through a series of discrete manipulations to respond to the specific conditions and context of the design task at hand.
transformation
It requires first that the ordering system of the prior or prototypal model be perceived and understood so that, through a series of finite changes and permutations, the original design concept can be classified, strengthened and built upon rather than destroyed.
Transformation
The most important thing to remember in plan analysis is that a good plan must have
organization
The term “Proxemics” was coined by researcher?
Edward Hall
The term “Proxemics” was coined by researcher Edward Hall in what year?
1966
It is the study of measurable distances between people as they interact. This has something to do with the study of our use of space and how various differences in that use can make us feel more relaxed or anxious
Proxemics
such as why desks face the front of a classroom rather than towards the center isle
Physical territory
that we carry with us. This is the space you keep between yourself and the person ahead of you in a line.
Personal territory
Four Areas of Personal Territory
- Public Space
- Social Space
- Personal Space
- Intimate Space
this is the distance maintained between the audience and the speaker
Public Space
