1Dimentional with the properties: length, direction, position
Line
26
The location of a form relative to its environment
Position
27
Is the characteristic outline / surface configuration of particular form. Principal aspect by which we identify and categorizes forms
Shape
28
Senses those concerned w/ perceiving the body’s own movement and informing the individual’s position and position of limbs in space
Proprioceptive Senses
29
Spatial Relationships
1. Space within a Space 2. Interlocking Space 3. Adjacent Space 4. Space linked by a Common Space
30
Defines a volume of space that is oriented primarily toward the open end of the configuration
U-Shaped Plane
31
Overlap the volume of another space
Interlocking Space
32
It explains phenomenon/ events and is neutral and does not lean towards any ideology
Descriptive Theory
33
In the ear which is mainly concerned w maintaining the body posture and equilibrium
Vestibular System
34
What are the types of Wall Planes?
1. Single Vertical plane 2. L-Shaped Plane 3. Parallel Plane 4. U-Shaped Plane 5. Four Planes
35
Define a volume of space between them that is oriented axially toward both open ends of the configuration
Parallel Plane
36
KINESTHETIC QUALITIES OF SPACE
1. Kinesthetic 2. Proprioceptive Senses
37
Direction of a form relative to the ground plane
Orientation
38
Horizontal plane elevated above the ground plane
Elevated Base Plane
39
3 Dimensional with the properties: length, width, depth, form, space, surface, orientation, position
Volume
40
It challenges relationships between architecture and society
Critical Theory
41
TRANSFORMATION OF FORMS
1. Dimensional Transformation 2. Subtractive Transformation 3. Additive Transformation
42
Central, dominant space about which a number of secondary spaces are grouped
Centralized Organization
43
Consists of seniors in the muscles, tendons and joints that indicated the relative position and movement of body part
Kinesthetic System
44
3 GENETIC TYPES OF PLANE MANIPULATING ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
a. OVERHEAD PLANE b. WALL PLANE c. BASE PLANE
45
The act of thinking, discussing and writing about architecture. Basis of architectural design
Architectural Theory
46
Is the grouping 2 or more forms
Additive Transformation
47
What are the 3 forms/theories?
1. Descriptive 2. Prescriptive 3. Critical
48
Shares a common edge and can pivot about that edge
Edge to edge contact
49
A space may be contained within the volume of a larger space
Space within a Space
50
What are the visual properties of form?
1. Shape 2. Size 3. Color 4. Texture

1. Point 2. Line 3. Plane
52
Primary identifying characteristics of a volume
Form
53
It can be flat or two dimensional or three dimensional
Space
54
What are the 4 types of additive transformation?
1. Spatial Tension 2. Edge to edge contact 3. Face to face contact 4. Interlocking volume
55
Two spaces may rely on intermediary space for their relationship
Space linked by a Common Space
56
Zero dimension, indicates position in space
Point
57
An analysis of a set of facts in relation to others
Theory
58
Organized within the field of a structural grid/ other three dimensional framework
Grid Organization
59
What are the types of Organization of Spaces
1. Centralized Organization 2. Linear Organization 3. Radial Organization 4. Clustered Organization 5. Grid Organization
60
Two forms have corresponding planar surfaces which are parallel to each other
Face to face contact
61
Close proximity of the forms or their sharing of a common visual trait
Spatial Tension
62
Is the visual and especially tactile quality given to a surface by the shape, size, arrangement and proportion of the parts
Texture
