Activity 1.1.2 Design Principles and Elements Introduction Have you ever noticed how buildings of similar size and shape can have completely different visual effects Architects, like artists, must understand the elements and principles of design and how they affect the visual impact of the building on a viewer. Whether it is the intent of the architect to create a feeling of strength and stability or to create an unusual form that will elicit a double-take from the public, the elements and principles of design can be used to manipulate the intellectual and emotional reactions of the people who see and use the building. Equipment Principles and Elements of Design Applied to Architecture presentation notes Procedure In this activity you will identify design elements and principles as they pertain to images of structures. For each of the following, choose one element of design and one principle of design that you feel is most prominent in the image and then justify your choice. Word Bank BalanceFormRhythm TextureColorLineShapeUnityEmphasisProportion/Scale SpaceValue Principle of Design Rhythm, unity Justification It has Rhythm because the elements are repeated and are identical with the exception of one detail increasing or decreasing gradually with each repetition. It has unity because they have the same color, shape, Element of Design Texture, Line Justification They have vertical, horizontal, and curved lines.it has a Rough texture, which Absorbs more light and therefore appears darker. Principle of Design Balance, Rhythm, Emphasis Justification It has Balance because the elements within the design are identical in relation to a centerline or axis. It has rhythm because it has Repeated use of line, shape, color, texture or pattern It has emphasis at the top of the building because it has a focal point. Element of Design Lines Justification It has curved, vertical and horizontal lines.
