TOOLS

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.
Le Corbusier architecture: human measurements + golden ratio + Fibonacci numbers De Menselijke Maat Most Memorable Golden Ratio Examples in Modern Art
Spatial Characteristics: some principles for Architectural Form:
Unity
Balance
Scale
Symmetry
Decoration and Embellishment
Idea of Motionless and Stable Ground
Rhythm
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,
Pattern of Form: what proportion and balance does the space have? - stubborn - kind - bold - soft - calculated - spiritual - framed - suprematist - topographic - fluid - organic form - parametric
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
