Notes
• Structure – types of support: Ex. Using the Villa Rotunda : can create unit of space
• Columnar – columns; separate point supports; dot representation
• Planar – planes/walls; solid line representation
• Massing – (not massiveness) composition of 3d volumes; only seen in elevation/3rd dimension; silhouette o In a massing drawing; important massing is heavily outlined
Shows hierarchy, volume, etc
• Plan to Section - The same shape on plan and section o Ex. Brunaleski organizes his building using the same skeme (cube)
• Section – especially important in Renaissance design – one unit to organize different plans b/c of overall desire for order in a bldg. (views of order, proportion, geometry, symmetry, etc.) o Would leave it out of the book – it’s a stretch
• Unit to Whole – It likes massing but in 2Dshows relationships among volumes; shows design strategy~ collection of separate or unified volumes o There’s a certain amount of subjectivity involved in the interpretation of a design o In Palladio’s Villa Rotunda, there is quadrilateral symmetry along with a focus on repeated geometries with one main unit with radiating appendages
• Structural analysis – Important b/c structure defines space, articulate movement/composition of space
• Natural lighting – light issue of light from artificial vs. natural sources o In the past, all about natural sources
Quantity and quality of light in space; is the light diffused/focused, directional/ambient, etc?
lightning often analyze through sections
• Circulation to Use – space in which one moves to stability in design
• For use space – space which is intended for use; service
• Repetition to unique – exhibits hierarchy of spaces by giving spaces a unique shape : form that draw attention to themselves
• Symmetry and balance o Symmetry – exactly the same/mirror image of masses/volumes/etc. o Balance – it deals with the perception of weight; do objects seem in balance
• Geometry – basic arrangement of
