- 2. PRINCIPLES OF ARCHITECTURE :- 1. UNITY 2. CONTRAST 3. MASS COMPOSITION 4. PROPORTION 5. SCALE 6. ACCENTUATION & RHYTHM 7. CHARACTER
- 3. UNITY:- Unity Means Oneness And Indicates Harmony Among The Different Building Elements. It Imparts Coherence Of The Parts And Integrity Of The Whole. A dominating mass placed at central or at a convenient place to makes it a point of importance and destroy the duality or competition.
- 4. CONTRAST : It means absence of monotony. It creates interest in humans because our mind carries impressions based on contrast existing in nature. Care should be taken to not destroy the unity. Contrast can be created using different shapes, their line of direction. Use of different construction materials, shades of colour creates contrast.
- 5. VARIETY - CONTRAST IN SIZE
- 6. SHAPE VARIETY - CONTRAST OF SHAPE
- 7. VARIETY - CONTRAST OF MASS M A S S
- 8. VARIETY - CONTRAST OF TONE Texture Openings Planes
- 9. MASS COMPOSITION: ▪ Mass is a three dimensional shape having definite width, length and height. ▪ Mass arrangement is to be done in such a way that harmonious unity of structure is maintained. ▪ Development of masses is done from both plan and elevation of building.
- 10. MASS COMPOSITION
- 11. PROPORTION: ▪ The dimensions of length, width and height with respect to one another gives a pleasing effect. ▪ A square living room fails to create a good impression but a rectangular one with length about 1.2 to 1.5 times the width gives pleasing effect although a greater ration gives undesirable “tunneling” effect.
- 12. GOLDEN RATIO ▪It is divine proportion used for beauty and balanced in the design of art.
- 13. GOLDEN RATIO
- 14. GOLDEN RATIO
- 15. GOLDEN RATIO
- 16. SCALE ▪ The scale in architectural composition means proper relation of different elements to one another and to whole. The scale is considered with respect to surroundings. ▪ The sizes of doors, windows and staircase are different for residential building when compared to monumental or public building. ▪ The proper scale is essential for better and qualitative results of proportion. ▪ The size of doors,windows and step(rise&tread) and handrail height should suit the users and creates feeling of comfort.
- 17. RHYTHM Rhythm in architectural composition is repetition of certain patterns at regular interval such as columns fixed at a fixed intervals. It is pleasing and attractive.
- 18. CHARACTER It refers to the styles of the building. The character is related to functional aspect of the building and evolves from proper combination of unity, mass composition, proportion, scale etc. which constitutes the basic principles of Architectural composition.
- 19. TYPES OF CHARACTER 1. Functional Character 2. Traditional Character 3. Personal Character
- 20. FUNCTIONAL CHARACTER That show the purpose of the building or the reason for its erection. The external appearance plays an important role in determining the purpose and the function of the structure. • Examples:1) A school building must containmany windows to admit the necessary side light and to offer an interesting contrast with the possible monotony of the class-room walls. • 2) A factory expresses the efficient operation of the manufacturing within in. • Designing skylights instead of windows can indicate a museum.
- 22. TRADITIONAL CHARACTER The character of some buildings is expressed through elements associated with certain influences. Such influences often go thousands of years back in history and culture. Cultural aspects play an important role in determining the Associated Character of a particular structure. Examples:-1) a spire on a tower by the side of a spacious building indicates a church. 2) A gopuram depicts a Hindu Temple. 3) a crescent and a white dome is the symbol of a mosque.
- 24. PERSONAL CHARACTER If a building is designed in the proper spirit, personal characteristics such as grace, dignity and vitality can be expressed as an integral part of the structure.
