Scale and propotion

The main topic in this lesson was about balance, rhythm, scale and proportion, emphasis, unity and variety.

•Visual rythm, more specifically visual rhythm, wich is depended in the way that the the elements are repeated.

•Balance can be symmetrical  or an asymmetrical  so it the sides can correspond or not. The balance can be defined related to  the color,texture, the complexity, of the composition.It is related to the form and the color of the elements.

•Scale and proportion.we learned about the differences betwwen them.Propotion is about the the comparison of the relationship between the elements of the composition and scale is about the porpotional relationship between two stes of dimensions that can be based on the human,distorted,hierarchical scale.We learned about a perfect proportion called golden sectionthat can be calculated with [a:b=b:(a+b)]. It was been used since the  ancient times till nowdays because it is very pleasing for the eye. The Malcontentaand Villa Garche are two good exambles that we saw.Even though, it was Le Corbusier continued his study and made a book about the measurements of human body that can be used in his work, The modular.He used 15 of this measurements to bring the human scale into a large building.

•Emphasis,is about a part of the building  that attract the most attention to the viwer.

•Unity and verity.Is about the parts of the composition are combined between them in a harmonic way and it creates a hole compodition but this parts must have some differences to make the building more interesting for the eye.


Another interesing part was about the regulating lines that are based on mathematical calculations because they give rythm,harmony to the composition.The can be used as helping lines or they can be realated to the golden section.

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
