Solids and cavities and architecture.

There isnt any wirght or wrong in arcutre because there are different perceptions and perspectives.Some say that zebra is black in color with white line and some say the opposite,they are both correct in their perception,the same thing happens in architecture.Solid-Minded and Cavity-Minded are two main types of architect. We must know what solids and cavities are and understand the differences between them.It is the realitionship between form and space.We should understand the space as a visual solid form. The relation form-space is very important and we can see it in different ways. The first one Solid-Minded, usually think about the general idea of the building and than add the details, which usually results in treating the parts of the building mainly aestheticaly.Cavity-Minded are the opposite. They consider the building like a solid mass and start to consider the spaces inside of it, mostly in Renaissance Period. This division exists even in nowdays but we have to pay attention to both form ans spaces to create a aesthetic and functional building.

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
