Lesson 1 Flashcards
Two spaces may abut each other or share a common border
Adjacent Space
Horizontal depressed ground plane
Depressed Base Plane
What are the types of Base Planes?
- Elevated Base Plane
- Depressed Base Plane
Articulates the space on which it fronts which establishes gateways and defines principal facades
Wall Plane
2 SEPARATE SYSTEMS
- Vestibular System
- Kinesthetic System
What are the space relationships to shape and form?
- Overhead Plane
- Wall Plane
- Base Plane
An example of this relationship are roofs or ceilings
Overhead Plane
2D, serves to define the limits or boundaries of a volume
Properties: length, width, shape, surface, orientation, position
Supplementary properties: surface, color, pattern, texture, affecting visual weight and stability.
Plane
RELATIONAL PROPERTIES OF FORM
- Position
- Orientation
- Visual Inertia
A phenomenon of light and visual perception that may be described in terms of an individual’s perception of hue, saturation and tonal value
Color
Degree of concentration and stability of a form
Visual Inertia
Altering one or more of its dimension and still retain as a member of a family of a form.
Dimensional Transformation
Subtracting a portion of its volume
Subtractive Transformation
Is a vital to shaping and enclosure of architectural space
Wall plane
Grouped by proximity or the sharing of a common visual trait or relationship
Clustered Organization
Serves as physical foundation and visual base
Base Plane
Is the physical dimensions of length, width and depth of form
Size
Closure – establish the boundaries of an introverted space and influence the field of space around the enclosure
Four Plane
Linear sequence if repetitive spaces
Linear Organization
It prescribes bases or guidelines on how architecture should be designed and what principles to be followed.
Prescriptive Theory
Generates a field of space from its corner outward along a diagonal axis
L-Shaped Plane
The sensation of movement or strain in muscles, tendons, joints
Kinesthetic
Forms interpenetrate each other’s space
Interlocking volume
Space extends in a radial manner
Radial Organization
1Dimentional with the properties: length, direction, position
Line
The location of a form relative to its environment
Position
Is the characteristic outline / surface configuration of particular form. Principal aspect by which we identify and categorizes forms
Shape
Senses those concerned w/ perceiving the body’s own movement and informing the individual’s position and position of limbs in space
Proprioceptive Senses
Spatial Relationships
- Space within a Space
- Interlocking Space
- Adjacent Space
- Space linked by a Common Space
Defines a volume of space that is oriented primarily toward the open end of the configuration
U-Shaped Plane
Overlap the volume of another space
Interlocking Space
It explains phenomenon/ events
and is neutral and does not lean towards any ideology
Descriptive Theory
In the ear which is mainly concerned w maintaining the body posture and equilibrium
Vestibular System
What are the types of Wall Planes?
- Single Vertical plane
- L-Shaped Plane
- Parallel Plane
- U-Shaped Plane
- Four Planes
Define a volume of space between them that is oriented axially toward both open ends of the configuration
Parallel Plane
KINESTHETIC QUALITIES OF SPACE
- Kinesthetic
- Proprioceptive Senses
Direction of a form relative to the ground plane
Orientation
Horizontal plane elevated above the ground plane
Elevated Base Plane
3 Dimensional with the properties: length, width, depth, form, space, surface, orientation, position
Volume
It challenges relationships between architecture and society
Critical Theory
TRANSFORMATION OF FORMS
- Dimensional Transformation
- Subtractive Transformation
- Additive Transformation
Central, dominant space about which a number of secondary spaces are grouped
Centralized Organization
Consists of seniors in the muscles, tendons and joints that indicated the relative position and movement of body part
Kinesthetic System
3 GENETIC TYPES OF PLANE MANIPULATING ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
a. OVERHEAD PLANE
b. WALL PLANE
c. BASE PLANE
The act of thinking, discussing and writing about architecture. Basis of architectural design
Architectural Theory
Is the grouping 2 or more forms
Additive Transformation
What are the 3 forms/theories?
- Descriptive
- Prescriptive
- Critical
Shares a common edge and can pivot about that edge
Edge to edge contact
A space may be contained within the volume of a larger space
Space within a Space
What are the visual properties of form?
- Shape
- Size
- Color
- Texture
What are the primary elements of design?
- Point
- Line
- Plane
Primary identifying characteristics of a volume
Form
It can be flat or two dimensional or three dimensional
Space
What are the 4 types of additive transformation?
- Spatial Tension
- Edge to edge contact
- Face to face contact
- Interlocking volume
Two spaces may rely on intermediary space for their relationship
Space linked by a Common Space
Zero dimension, indicates position in space
Point
An analysis of a set of facts in relation to others
Theory
Organized within the field of a structural grid/ other three dimensional framework
Grid Organization
What are the types of Organization of Spaces
- Centralized Organization
- Linear Organization
- Radial Organization
- Clustered Organization
- Grid Organization
Two forms have corresponding planar surfaces which are parallel to each other
Face to face contact
Close proximity of the forms or their sharing of a common visual trait
Spatial Tension
Is the visual and especially tactile quality given to a surface by the shape, size, arrangement and proportion of the parts
Texture
