In this theory the form is outcome of various physical, social, psychological and symbolic functions
For example if we want to design concert hall, the form will be the abstract of functional data which is defined by the distance of the seats the place of foyer the relation between all functions and also a symbolic appearance of the building. In this type of design the context of the building is not considered and we can put the designed project in different sites and places with no attention to the contextual matters. In this theory architects must act like a scientist. It means that they have to find some form in a body of pre existing facts. So it can be named as kind of true and false game. The designer will do its job according to client`s needs climatological conditions and community values. The difference is here that architects cannot define general lows for the design solution as like as the scientists do.
Some of the theories are now certainly outdated and have little interest to a modern builder, but some contain still valid information about important goals of building, notably on the questions of functionality, construction, economy and ecology. While theory of design is intended to help design, it does not necessarily precede design. On the contrary, the first building where a new architectural style is exposed, is usually created intuitively, without the help of any theory, just by the skill of a brilliant architect. The design theory comes a little later, and even less brilliant architects can then base their work on it.
Theories can be seen as building-specific branches of the general goal-specific theories which pertain to all types of products and are listed in Paradigms Of Design Theory. Thematic or "analytic" theories are treatises which aim at the fulfilment of one principal goal of architecture. Theories of architectural synthesis are examples of theories which aim at fulfilling simultaneously several goals, usually all the goals that are known.
In present day, the design theory of architecture includes all that is presented in the handbooks of architects: legislation, norms and standards of building. All of them are intended to aid the work of the architect and improve its product -- the quality of buildings technology and production in general: proven theory helps designers to do their work better and more effectively. It occasionally even helps to do things that were believed to be impossible earlier on. As an old saying goes, there is nothing more practical than a good theory. The aesthetization of utilitarian ideas is the primacy of architecture as a vessel of life, accommodating the needs of human beings .

Islamic Art and the Identity of the Architecture Fundamental Designijtsrd
The language of Islamic design springs primarily from shorthand, and geometry which plays a central role. The geometry and calligraphy are based on the rule of the underlying laws proportions . The problem of research related to insert Islamic art in fundamental design subject especially the design of architecture. The research aims to analyze some models of Islamic engineering works. It follows that the Islamic design principles are reflected in geometry and used by designers as the most valuable tool of the design process to produce ordered patterns that govern aesthetic in designed spaces and surfaces. The research consisted of two parts Theoretical in which the collection of Islamic decoration and use in architecture. And Practical in which the analysis of its. The research results are design and construction are used not only by mathematician astronomers but also by designers, where the most striking characteristic of Islamic geometrical patterns is the prominence of star and rosette shapes.

"Application of 3D and 2D geometry" explains the importance of geometry in our lives. Geometry is found everywhere from nature to human made machines. I have tried to inculcate all
its applications.
I hope it helps in providing guidance to those who are aspiring to understand geometry. I have taken help from internet and some books to acquire knowledge.
thank you for clicking my slide.
The tools of mathematics at the maximum applied part has continuously been utilized in an important manner in the formation of art and architecture. The straightedge and the lowly compass since the ancient times augmented by other craftsmen’s tools and simple draftsmen’s tools have been put into use for the creation of attractive projects comprehended in the beautification of cathedrals, fortresses and mosques and also in architecture (Gomez 1983). A testament to the imaginative use of ancient geometric knowledge is the intricate Moorish tessellations in crick, tile and stucco which decorate their structures and also the complex tracery of Gothic interiors and windows.
Mathematics and art have a long historical relationship. The Golden ratio, Geometric patterns, Fractals are all fascinating mathematical ideas that have inspired artists and architects for centuries, I am just exploring these ideas in this presentation

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

3. Formalism
The term formalism describes an emphasis on
form over content or meaning in the arts,
literature, or philosophy.
4. Formalism (Art)
In art history, formalism is the study of art by
analysing and comparing form and style—the
way objects are made and their purely visual
aspects.
5.
6. The context for the work, including the reason
for its creation, the historical background, and
the life of the artist, that is, its conceptual
aspect is considered to be of secondary
importance.
8. Formalism (Philosophy)
Formalists within a discipline are completely
concerned with "the rules of the game," as there
is no other external truth that can be achieved
beyond those given rules.
12. Construction Lines
• Hidden Lines
• Guide lines
• Xlines
• Construction lines are temporary linework
entities that can be used as references when
creating and positioning other objects or
linework.
16. Why is this important?
Their purpose is to instigate a personal
investigation of architectural design based on a
particular assumption:
Without denying individual creativity and
innovation, there is ample evidence of a canon
of fundamental design strategies shared by
architects worldwide;
17. Why is this important?
A close examination of the work of greatest
architects – Michaelangelo and Le Corbusier, for
example – reveals that much of their success
was due to their ability to interpret these design
strategies in fresh ways that made them seem
new.
18. Contemporary students of architecture tend to
assume that the dramatic technological
advances of the recent past and the present
place them in an entirely different world of
ideas than the one of their predecessors.
19. [Hanlon] Argue that despite differences in
appearance and in methods of
construction, at the conceptual level of
composition little has changed over
thousand of year of formal exploration.
28. Maple Leaf Analogy
What is most fascinating about this rigorous
system is that among the countless maple leaves
nature has produced, no two leaves are ever
exactly alike.
The underlying rules of a maple leaf pattern
(number, geometry, proportion, hierarchy, and
orientation) ensure consistency without
uniformity.
30. 1 Number
Number is the fundamental property. They
assume that all physical phenomena are in
essence numerical.
Some structures are relatively easy to discern
whereas others, such as chaotic structures of
weather systems, are extremely complex.
31. 1 Number
Common feature of space
and time as we ordinarily
experience them in
architecture such as rhythm
and cadence, are numerical
progressions.

33. 2 Geometry
Geometry is the shape of number. Like numbers,
geometries in nature vary widely in complexity.
Geometry is an underlying ordering mechanism
that establishes a consistent language of form
for a given phenomenon.
Each geometric figure has intrinsic qualities.
34. 2 Geometry
The square, for example, is defined by its four
equal sides and right angles.
In architectural design, the relation of geometric
figures is a visual language that is central to our
reading of pattern.
39. 4 Hierarchy
Hierarchy indicates the relative importance of
the parts of a composition and is dependent on
number, geometry, and proportion, since each
of these attributes to the identity of each part
and its position relative to others.
Nature avoids uniformity because forms in
nature respond directly to the distribution and
collection of energy.
40. 4 Hierarchy
Since sources of energy are concentrated or
intermittent, not uniform, forms must organize
themselves hierarchically to produce structures
that mediate between places of high
concentration of energy and those of low
concentrations.
41. 4 Hierarchy
Analogously, in architectural patterns, not all
parts are of the same significance. We can
consider them in respect to energy as well –
literally in respect to natural light, but also
figuratively to their visual, emotional, and
spiritual energy.

43. 5 Orientation
Orientation operates in two ways in patterns:
externally and internally.
All natural phenomena are oriented in space in
some way, in response to forces around them,
such as sunlight or magnetic field.
44. 5 Orientation
• They may be oriented externally
toward patterns outside
themselves, such as the sun or a
direction of movement.
• They are also oriented internally
by virtue of an organization of
their parts (e.g., the axis of
symmetry that controls the
position of the head, thorax, and
abdomen of a beetle indicates its
direction and movement).
45. 5 Orientation
Likewise, in an architectural design, we find
buildings oriented externally toward distant
objects, such as the Kaaba in Mecca for
mosques or the polestar for some Anasazi Kivas.
Internally, orientation may take the form of an
axis of symmetry, but there also may be a series
of changing orientation in a choreographed
movement though linked segments of space.

Number’s role in architectural composition
The designer arranges parts of a composition in some way – sequentially or repetitively
producing RHYTHM. RHYTHM is not REPETITION

53. 3 Proportions
Despite the complexity of
design, Rietveld relied on a
traditional proportion for the
building as a whole: the golden
section is the basis for both
the plan and the section.
54. 3 Proportions
The rationale for the use of an
abstract ratio such as the golden
section has two theoretical bases;
First, since much of the natural
world appears to be ordered by
the golden section (including
our own bodies), humans are
presumably predisposed to find
it aesthetically pleasing.
55. 3 Proportions
The second theory is that
because it can be subdivided
systematically to produce identical
Ratios at different scales, its use
Achieves a harmonic relation

57. 4-5 Hierarchy & Orientation
Süleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul Turkey
By Mimar Siman
58. The center of this large complex of buildings is a mosque. Sinan
perfected the compositional system, derived from Byzantine
precedents, by which relatively small domes, half domes,
monumental arches, and buttresses supported a fully hierarchical
composition that produces a cascade of volumes from the center
to the periphery.
59. A formal orientation of a building, as distinct from a processional
orientation, fixes internal elements of a plan to an external
phenomenon – for example, a cardinal direction, another bldg, or
a view. As with all mosques, in this case it is a distant referent, the
Kaaba in Mecca.
