Architectural Form in Space

Spatial Characteristics: The Living Room example

Does it: collide? explode? shatter? fragment? abstract? distort? and deform? fold? twist? erode? melt?

Spatial Characteristics: Le Corbusier & The Golden Ratio

The golden ration formula is seen in the golden rectangle, the golden spiral that follows the Fibonacci number series, geometrical abstraction, and the rule of thirds.

Spatial Characteristics: some principles for Architectural Form:

  • Unity

  • Balance

  • Scale

  • Symmetry

  • Decoration and Embellishment

  • Idea of Motionless and Stable Ground

  • Rhythm

  1. Form Notion: what kind of form does the space have?

    • volumes (generous - intimate)

    • distances (wide - narrow)

    • paths (fluid - constrained)

    • pace (slow - fast)

    • layout (complex - simple)

    You can use daily metaphors (closed):

    house, hut, nest, shell, cellar, shelter, temple, church, train, football field, dessert, forrest, laboratory, forest, laboratory, football field. Use daily metaphors (open-ended): infinity room, race track, beach, mountain, desert,

  2. Pattern of Form: what proportion and balance does the space have? - stubborn - kind - bold - soft - calculated - spiritual - framed - suprematist - topographic - fluid - organic form - parametric

  3. Rhythm of the Air: imagine the wind blowing through space, what happens? it floats like a river is it climbing on a mountain it is walking through a forrest it is diving into the ocean
