  1. University of Palestine Faculty of Applied Engineering and Urban Planning Dept. of Architecture DESIGN PRINCIPLES ( EAGD 2201) 6- ARCHITECTURAL COMPOSITION Dr. Nihad Almughany Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  2. CONTENTS • 1- REVIEW OF LAST LECTURE “ Architectural Form”. • 2- ARCHITECTURE COMPOSITION. • 3- FACTORS AFFECTING ARCH. COMPOSITION. • 4- MAIN TYPES OF COMPOSITIONS. • 5- ORDERING PRINCIPLES. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  3. 1- REVIEW OF LAST LECTURE • - VISUAL PROPERTIES OF FORM. • - REGULAR AND IRREGULAR FORMS. • - THE TRANSFORMATION OF FORM. • - THE ORGANIZATION OF FORM. • - THE ARTICULATION OF FORM. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  4. 2- ARCHITECTURE COMPOSITION • Arch. Composition : • Organization of geometric elements in special pattern to achieve balance and to fulfill the aim of the composition . • Each architectural composition includes only one major element and subject. All additive elements are for the enforcement of the major element. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  5. 2- ARCHITECTURE COMPOSITION (Cont.) • Methods to design an architectural composition : • Analytical method : Sequence from Public to private, from the Whole to the Parts, from the Mass to the Details . Means grouping predominant elements and giving a priority to them without going to the details . • Synthetic method : Sequence from the part to the whole starting from the analysis of elements and details to achieve the organization of the whole. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  6. 3- FACTORS AFFECTING ARCH. COMPOSITION • Objective : physical, social, economic, science , etc. • Subjective : Depends on the skill of the designer and his /her ability in design . Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  7. 4- MAIN TYPES OF COMPOSITIONS • Compositions with interior space only. • Compositions without an interior space. • Compositions with an interior and exterior space. • Composition with volumes and open spaces. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  8. 4- MAIN TYPES OF COMPOSITIONS (Cont.) • A- COMPOSITIONS WITH INTERIOR SPACE ONLY : • Underground architecture. • In early times was represented in caves, temples, tombs and nowadays in metro stations and other underground structures. • Connection with ground level with special treatment. Example : metro stations, the Louvre. • Structural difficulties should not restrict creative solutions . Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  9. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  10. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  11. 4- MAIN TYPES OF COMPOSITIONS (Cont.) • B- COMPOSITIONS WITHOUT AN INTERIOR SPACE : • Structural compositions : Dams, Bridges, Sea ports, Waves breakers, etc. • Architectural compositions : Fences, Fountains, Monumental structures, Triumphal arches, etc. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  12. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  13. 4- MAIN TYPES OF COMPOSITIONS (Cont.) • C- COMPOSITIONS AN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES : The most familiar compositions and consists of two aspects: • 1- INTERIOR SPACE: • Primary spaces : primary and major functions. • Secondary spaces: services and accessory spaces • Communication spaces : passageways, galleries, stairs, lifts, escalators, etc. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  14. INTERIOR SPACE ( cont. ): - There are many schemes for the configuration of interior compositions: - One space composition - Central composition - Linear composition - Radial composition - Clustered composition - Grid composition - Composite composition. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  15. 2- Exterior architectural composition: • Simple com. : composed from one volume only • Standing • Recumbent • Complicated com. : L , U , T, H and other shapes . • According to exposure could be classified: • Frontal surface composition • Composition with frontal space • Free volume composition. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  16. 4- MAIN TYPES OF COMPOSITIONS (Cont.) • D- Composition with volumes and open spaces : • Planned compositions • Unplanned compositions • Ensemble : Architectural ensemble is a group of buildings with the environment around, planned spatially and functionally with a special character. Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  17. 5- ORDERING PRINCIPLES • AXIS • SYMMETRY • UNITY • HIERARCHY • RHYTHM / REPETITION • DATUM • DOMINANCY • EQUILBRIUM • SCALE AND PROPORTION Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  18. AXIS Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  19. SYMMETRY Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009

  20. HIERARCHY Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009
