APPENDIX 1 PRACTICAL EXERCISES ON ARCHITECTURAL COMPOSITION

TASK 1: FREE TOPIC

Associative series of famous architectural objects. Express your attitude to architecture through composition (layout). Technique performance - free.

2: CUBE composition with a limited number of straight

coal elements (3-5). It is necessary to achieve consistency and coordination of the elements included in the composition.

Requirements:

• The composition must have a main element, or compositional center . The selection of the main element in relation to the subordinates is achieved by their inequality on several grounds: shape, size, location in space (at a distance, junction, frame) and color (as agreed with the teacher); • the aspect ratio of the volume element can be in the range from 1: 1: 1 (cube) to 1: 3-5: 3-5 (parallelepiped).

Both symmetric and asymmetrical arrangement of elements on the sheet are allowed. The composition is solved by visual balance between the total mass of the elements, the intervals between them and the area of ​​the free field of the underlying basis.

3: SCALE

The basis is to take two of the same shape and height of the volumetric shape. Show by their example the different scale of objects (small and large).

Additional means of harmonizing the form - articulation, meter, rhythm.

4: PROPORTIONATION volumetric composition using proportioning

elements, types of proportional relationships, the golden ratio. An additional means of harmonizing the form is rhythm.

Figure 88 - Proportioning of elements (1 course):

1 - proportioning (Fibonacci series);

2 - proportional on the basis of pentagram

TASK 6: RHYTHM IN THE FRONT COMPOSITION

Perform frontal composition using the rhythm shape harmonization tool.

7: RHYTHM IN A VOLUME COMPOSITION volumetric composition using the harmonization tool

form-rhythm.

7: FONT font composition in bulk layout form in

as a word.

It is performed by creating a volume form from the plane of a sheet of paper. An architectural term or word related to art is selected for execution.
