  1. Chapter 2 Fundamentals of Design • Architecture and Design • Louis Sullivan • “Our architecture reflects us truly as a mirror” • Form Follows Function • Mainly identified with the style of Frank Lloyd Wright • Any architectural form (shape, object) should have an intended practical purpose and should perform a function

  2. Aesthetic value • Appreciation of form, beauty, and uniqueness • Functionalism • Quality of being useful • Lead to the development of the organic concept • All materials, functions, forms, and surroundings are coordinated in harmony with nature • Interior design • Furnishings should be closely related to exterior architecture for consistent design

  3. Creativity • Architects and interior designers apply the elements and principles of design

  4. Elements of Design • Line • Produces a sense of movement or produce a greater sense of length or height • Color • -Has influence on the final appearance of design • Form • -Lines joined together and create the shape of an area • -Circles and ovals convey a feeling of completeness • -Squares and rectangles produce a feeling of mathematical precision • -Whether the form of an object is open, closed, solid, hollow, the form should be determined by it’s function

  5. Space • Surrounds forn and is contained within it • Architectural Design includes the art of defining space and space relationships • Light (value) • Reflects the surfaces of a form • Texture • Refers to the surface finish of an object • Roughness, coarseness, or fineness • Materials • Raw substances with which designers create

  6. All Elements of Design Can strengthen or diminish interest

  7. Designer must understand the nature and relationship of COLORS • Divided into three categories Primary Secondary Tertiary

  8. Primary • Cannot be made up from a combination of colors Red Yellow Blue

  9. Secondary • Made up of equal mixtures of two primary colors Blue + Yellow = Green Blue + Red = Violet + Red Yellow = Orange 

  10. Tertiary • Primary color and neighboring secondary color mixture Red + Orange = Red-Orange Red + Violet = Red-Violet Yellow + Green = Yellow-Green Yellow + Orange = Yellow-Orange Blue + Green = Blue-Green Blue + Violet = Blue-Violet

  11. Neutral White Gray Black

  12. Color Quality • Distinguishing accuracy • Hue • Basic consistent identity • Ex: Blue, blue-green, yellow-green,yellow • Lighter or darker does not matter, the hue stays the same • Value • Lightness or darkness of hue • Can dramatically change the mood of a room

  13. Value • Lightness or darkness of hue • Can dramatically change the mood of a room • Tint • Lighter(or higher) in value than the normal value • Produced by adding white to a color • Lighter tint of hue will make a room look larger in area • Shade • Darker (or lower) in value than the normal value • Produced by adding black to a color • Dark shade will make a room look smaller in area

  14. Tone • Produced by adding gray to the normal color • Intensity • Degree of purity (or brightness) of a color • Free from neutralizing factors • Chroma

  15. Principles of Design • Guidelines for how to combine the elements of design • Balance • Equilibrium (feeling of stability) • Informally balanced (asymmetrical) • Formally balanced (symmetrical)

  16. Rhythm and repetition • Same pattern used over and over; creates a sense of motion • Emphasis • Draws a viewer’s attention to an area or subject • Subordination • Occurs when emphasis is achieved through design. Other features become less noticeable • Proportion • Assures appropriate sizing of components

  17. Variety • Also called contrast • Do not create too much unity, rhythm, or repetition or you will lose variety • Opposition • Use of contrasting elements for variety • Transition • To change from one color to another or from a curved line to a straight line • Must maintain the same unity

  18. Unity • Creates a sense of wholeness
