Recently in the U.S. and many developing countries we accept geometric shapes with sharp edges
In the past, Euclidian (columns, domes) were more accepted
Frank Lloyd Wright said “Form follows function.”
He later clarified this:
“ Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.”
Form

Architecture may relate to the scale of humans◦ If not, architecture may be
Monumental, impressive Intimidating, frightening
◦ Columns on building can give illusion of scale
◦ Surroundings and adjacent buildings can scale-up or scale-down a building
Scale

Bodies create space
◦ Activities Ergonomics
◦ Group interactions
◦ Beliefs
◦ Movement through spaces
◦ Flow - interior to exterior Bank of widows and
French doors invite outside in
Behavior

Architecture can be an expression of a time
Can relate to other buildings Can relate to land

Relation between spaces◦ Between rooms in a floor plan◦ Between elements of a facade
Proportion

Symmetry ◦ May symbolize order, or wealth◦ May put people at ease (perceived stable)
Asymmetry◦ Can symbolize revolt◦ Can evoke feeling of movement &
excitement, or comfort◦ Can arise from organic vernacular growth
Medieval cities
◦ Frank Lloyd Wright made entrances low and dark to surprise with final destination.
◦ Also, light at end of corridor draws you in.
Balance

Animate the inanimate◦ Equate columns with
humans “Entasis” in columns is a
slight curvature to resemble hips
Anthropomorphism

Harmonized colors◦ Use different hues of same color or pair hues of colors close to each other on color wheel
Color

Five elements of “Lynch Analysis” (Kevin Lynch)
◦ PATHS: Streets, sidewalks, trails, and other channels in which people travel
◦ EDGES: Boundaries such as walls and shorelines
◦ DISTRICTS: Areas distinguished by some identity or character
◦ NODES: Focal points, intersections
◦ LANDMARKS: Easily identifiable objects which serve as external reference points
