Principles of design
emphAsis
For a form or space to be
expressed as being important or
significant to an composition, it
must be made uniquely visible. i.e.
emphasized.
Visual emphasis can be achieved
through
• Contrast
• Isolation
• Placement
• Absence of a focal
point
• Repetition

Emphasis in architecture can
be achieved through
• exceptional size
• a unique shape
• a strategic location

Balance is a simple visual concept that relates to our
experience of physical balance.
Types of balance
Axial symmetrical balance.
Biaxial symmetrical balance
Radial balance
Asymmetrical balance
Axial symmetrical balanceArranging visually equal elements on both sides
of a single axis
Biaxial symmetrical balance
Arranging visually equal elements in each of the four quadrants created by a pair of crossed axes
Radial balanceArranging visually equal elements at an equal distance
from a center point and spaced at an equal distance apart from one another
Asymmetrical balance
Arranging visually un equal elements around a point such that their visual weight of each element multiplied times their distance from the point of balance all equal one another
Balance in architecture
RHYTHM IN DESIGN
• Rhythm is the repetition or alternation of elements, often with defined intervals between them.Rhythm can create a sense of movement, and can establish pattern and texture.
KINDS OF RHYTHM
Regular
A regular rhythm occurs when the intervals between the elements,and often the elements themselves, are similar in size or length
Flowing
A flowing rhythm gives a sense of movement, and is often more organic in nature
Progressive
A progressive rhythm shows a sequence of forms through a progression of steps
RHYTHM IN ARCHITECTURE
REPETITION OF DIFFERENCES
IN THIS RHYTHMICAL SERIES, THE ASCENDING AND DESCENDING PROGRESSIONS ARE BUILT UP FROM SMALL TO LARGE AND TO SMALL AGAIN.
REPETITION OF LINES
VARIATIONS OF LINEAR LENGTHS OF CURVATURES.
REPETITION OF DIMENSIONS
SUCH AS THE DIMENSIONS BETWEEN SUPPORTS AND BAY SPACING.
REPETITION OF SHAPES
REPETITION OF CONSTRUCTIVE ELEMENTS.
REPETITION
REPETITION is the use of similar
or connected pictorial elements.
For example, similar shapes, colors
or lines that are used more
than once
regular or irregular and even or
uneven.
in the form of RADIATION
where the repeated elements spread
out from a central point.
in the form of GRADATION
where the repeated elements slowly
become smaller or larger.
