2. UNIT 02: ELEMENTS OF ARCHITECTURE
THEORY OF ARCHITECTURE | PRESENTATION BY: AR. GEEVA CHANDANA 2
Understanding fundamental elements such as point, line, plane, form and space,
shape, pattern, light, color, surface and texture with reference to the evolution of
architectural form and space.
3. POINT
§Marks a position in space
§Conceptually, it has no length, width or depth
§It is static, centralized and directionless
A point can serve to mark:
§The two ends of a line.
§The intersection of two lines.
§The meeting of lines at the corner of a plane or volume.
§The center of a field.
THEORY OF ARCHITECTURE | PRESENTATION BY: AR. GEEVA CHANDANA 3
4. POINT
A point has no dimension. To visibly mark a position in
space or on the ground plane, a point must be projected
vertically into a linear form, as a column, obelisk, or tower.
Any such columnar element is seen in plan as a point and
therefore retains the visual characteristics of a point.

POINT
Other point-generated forms that share these
same visual attributes are the:

• Cylinder
• Sphere

8. LINE
§Two points describe a line that connects them.
§Although the points give this line finite length, the
line can also be considered a segment of an
infinitely longer path.
§A point extended becomes a line. Conceptually, a
line has length, but no width or depth. Whereas a
point is by nature static, a line in describing the
path of a point in motion, is capable of visually
expressing direction, movement and growth.
THEORY OF ARCHITECTURE | PRESENTATION BY: AR. GEEVA CHANDANA 8
9. §Two points further suggest an axis
perpendicular to the line they describe and
about which they are symmetrical. Because this
axis may be infinite in length, it can be at times
more dominant than the described line.
§A line is a critical element in the formation of
any visual composition.
It can serve to:
1. Join, link, support, surround or intersect other
visual elements.
2. Describe the edges of and give shape to
planes.
3. Articulate the surface of planes.

13. PLANE
§A line extended in a direction other than its intrinsic
direction becomes a plane.
§Conceptually, a plane has length and width, but no
depth.
§The properties of a plane – its surface colour,
pattern, texture – affects its visual weight and
stability.

14. PLANE
§Planes in architecture define three-dimensional
volumes of mass and space.
§The properties of each plane – size, shape, color,
texture as well their spatial relationship to one
another ultimately determine the visual attributes
of the form they define and the qualities of the
space they enclose.
§In architectural design, we manipulate three
generic types of planes.
1. Overhead Plane
2. Wall Plane
3. Base Plane.

15. PLANE
1. OVERHEAD PLANE: The overhead plane can be either
the roof plane that spans and shelters the interior
spaces of a building form, the climatic elements, or the
ceiling plane that forms the upper enclosing surface of
a room.
2. WALL PLANE: The Wall Plane, because of its vertical
orientation, is active in our normal field of vision and
vital to the shaping and enclosure of architectural
space.
3. BASE PLANE: The base plane can be either the ground
plane that serves as the physical foundation and visual
base for building forms, or the floor plane that forms
the lower enclosing surface of a room upon which we
walk.

VOLUME
§A Plane extended in a direction other than its
intrinsic direction becomes a volume.
§Conceptually, a volume has three dimensions :
length, width and depth.
§A volume can be either a solid – space displaced
by mass – or a void – space contained or enclosed
by planes.
All volumes consists of:
Points or vertices
Lines or edges
Planes or surfaces.

FORM
§Form is the primary identifying characteristic of a
volume.
§It is established by the shapes and
interrelationships of planes that describe the
boundaries of the volume.
25. THEORY OF ARCHITECTURE | PRESENTATION BY: AR. GEEVA CHANDANA 25
FORM
§Form may refer to an external appearance that
can be recognized.
§It often denotes the formal structure of a work –
the manner of arranging and coordinating the
elements and parts of a composition so as to
produce a coherent image.

§A solid generated by the revolution of a semicircle

equidistant from the center.
§A sphere is a centralized and highly concentrated
form.
§Like the circle from which it is generated, it is self-
centering and normally stable in its environment.
§It can be inclined toward a rotary motion when
placed on a sloping plane.
§From any viewpoint, it retains its circular shape.
