Perceptual bases

In this text the main thing was that buildings are like a language that architetcts can express theirselfs and what the building wants to communicate us.The main way that those buildings communicate is the visual one,but sound,humidity,temperature affects on us too.To have a good design of a building we should transmit a meaning to the viwers but without losing it's function.We devided it into 6 points to understand better what the image communicates.1.Building program-calculates the shapes,sizes.2.Building type-Different building transmit different feelings to the viewer and a message to communicate.3.Site-the building must be related to the surrounding buildings and it can affect direclty in the image.4.The architect style-Each architect has it's own style that indentifies himself by just looking at his work.5.Building technology-Using the same space for different function(stadium transformed into a stage by moving the seats)6.Environmental studies-Architect must understand how people behave in the building or composition(shortcuts made in the parks)
To make a good composition a architect must use some techniques.The first thing we talked about was Proximity diagramming it is related to the sizes and the positioning of the elements.Symbols and signs-should be used carefuly because they change the meaning that want to be represented.Gestalts is dealt with the ways people percept different patterns.Ges means that human mind can be “manipulated”, it can perceive shapes if in reality there isn’t any closed shape, symmetry if there isn’t a real symmetry(Most likely this perception is changed by time).Some of the most used gestalts are:A.Figure/Ground-There must a be a good compositions betwwen the elemts and the background.B.Centre of gravity-Is not the mathematical centre the gravity,it it the points that attracts your attention the most.(Teacher in the class,dirigent in a orchestra).C.Configuration-Our mind ha a tendence to simplify the design.D.Similarity-Our mind tends to group similar things together and with similar function.E.Proximity-Putting two objects by one another all the times,gives the idea that they will always be related together.F.Symmetry-It is used to create grouping.G.Closure and good composition-Human mind percepts an abject as full even if it is not completed.H.Archetypes-They are some rules that an architect should follow.I.Patterns-Differs from building to building,and it helps to give the meaning of the building
We learned that the architects must communicate something from their compositions,there must be a harmony between the building elements and we learned some tips to reach that good composition.

Daylight and colore

    We learned about the impact of daylight in architecture and its importance in perceiving plasticity,textures,etc. There are different ways the daylight is used but we will talk about three main ones: 1- Bright open hall , It's a roof supported by columns and it is opened in the sides and the light in there differs from the light outside. A lot of light doesn't mean it is a good light(a front light is considered a "poor" light). Good quality of t extures and plasticity makes a good light . 2- The room with a skylight , is a room or a building with the daylight entering from the top.It is the only lighting source,and it satisfies the need of the room for light.It creates good textures and plasticity.We learned about  Partheon and the way it was build. 3- The room with the light entering from the side ,is the most used natural lighting,because it is a very good light . We learned how the light changed on the inside when only the two upper shutters were opened (same

Gulio Camillo

Giulio Camillo was a sixteenth-century Italian philosopher,is still remembered for his concept of the "Theater of Memory.". Camillo's Memory Theater is however a twisting of the arrangement of the genuine Vitruvian theater. His performance is based on the classical art of memory. In any case, his memory building is to speak to the request of interminable truth; in it the universe will be recollected through natural relationship of every one of its parts with their underlying order. The theatre resembles the ancient theatres. In ancient theatres the most sublime people sat in the lowest seat, also in this theatre the greatest and the most important things will be placed in the lowest row. The seven sections were divided according to the seven planets known at the time : The second grade of the performance center is extremely the principal day of creation, imaged as the dinner given by Ocean to the divine beings, the rising components of creation, here in their straigh

Architecture and the question of Technology

In the primary part of this book, "Engineering and the subject of Technology", we are presented with a perception of the idea of workmanship and innovation in time which at last are incorporated in connection to design. All through the main section of the book, there is communicated a feeling of the philosophical development of Phenomenology. Alberto Perez-Gomez, one of the writers of this book, is himself a compositional scholar who bolsters the previously mentioned rationality and figures out how to pass on it in his written work on workmanship and innovation. Toward the start of his contention, the creator intends to clear up the principle information second thoughts, which he should later clarify in detail, viewing the idea of innovation and in addition the all inclusiveness of instrumental reasoning. It is precisely this method of reasoning which has a tendency to for the most part misrepresent terms amid talks, along these lines lessening a mind boggling matter of iss
