- 5. Principles of Design BALANCE Asense of equilibrium. When establishing balance consider visual weight created by size, color, texture and number of objects. Most successful compositions achieve balance in one of two ways: symmetrically or asymmetrically.
- 6. Principles of Design BALANCE Axisis an imaginary line that is used to organize a group of elements in a design. In diagrams, axis is represented as a dashed line.
- 7. Example: CHINESE COURTYARDHOUSE, BEIJING CHINA
- 8. Principles of Design BALANCE Symmetricalbalance can be described as having equal "weight" on equal sides of a centrally placed fulcrum. It may also be referred to as formal balance.

- 12. Principles of Design BALANCE Asymmetricalbalance, also called informal balance involves placement of objects in a way that will allow objects of varying visual weight to balance one another around a central point.

- 16. Principles of Design RHYTHM . Rhythmin architecture is the repetitive use of a group of visual elements, at least three times, to establish a recognizable “pattern.” Simple examples of rhythm are the alternating window and column arrangement of most high rise office buildings.
- 17. Principles of Design TYPEOF RHYTHM Rhythm by Repetition Rhythm by Gradation Rhythm by Radiation Rhythm by Opposition Rhythm byTransition
- 18. Principles of Design RhythmBy Repetition ◼ ◼Rhythm created by duplicating (repeating) shapes, colors,pattern, line,texture. ◼ ◼Repeated Window panes, Stripes on wall and design and colour of glass.
- 19. Principles of Design RhythmBy Gradation Rhythm created by a gradual change in size or color. Carpet on the floor changes gradually in value.
- 20. Principles of Design RhythmBy Gradation
- 21. Principles of Design RhythmBy Radiation ◼ ◼Rhythm created by identical objects coming from a central axis. ◼ ◼The floor design, the windows,furniture etc. are in radial rhythm
- 22. Principles of Design RhythmBy Opposition ◼ ◼Rhythm created direct placement of lines, shapesor colour to create opposition through abrupt visual change. ◼ ◼Contrasting black and white tiles create Rhythm by Opposition.
- 23. Principles of Design RhythmBy Transition ◼ ◼Rhythm created by curved lines that carry your eye across a straight surface. ◼ ◼Window treatments that gently swag down,createa soft rhythm by transition.

- 30. Principles of Design Contrast Contrastis simply defined as difference. Contrast can be created through variety within the elements of art. (i.e. size/shape,color, texture).
- 31. Principles of Design Contrastin Colour

- 33. Principles of Design Harmony Harmonyin visual design means all parts of the visual image relate to and complement each other.Harmony pulls the pieces of a visual image together. Harmony can be achieved through repetition and rhythm ◼ ◼ There are 2 types of harmony. ◼ ◼ Unity ◼ ◼ Variety
- 34. Principles of Design HarmonyBy Unity • Unity occurs when all the parts of a design or composition are related by one idea. • A unified design has consistency of style
- 35. Principles of Design HarmonyBy Unity
- 36. Principles of Design HarmonyBy Unity Lotus Temple
- 37. Principles of Design HarmonyByVariety ◼ ◼ When multiple elements of design are used to add interest to a design. ◼ ◼ Variety can be created using different elements and materials, as long as theyare compatible to each other. UnityVsVariety
- 38. Principles of Design HarmonyByVariety Harmony Is achieved when unity and variety are effectively combined. Carrying variety too far creates confusion.

- 40. Principles of Design Scale Scalerefers to the size of an object (a whole) in relationship to another object (another whole). In design the size relationship between an object and the human body is significant
- 42. Principles of Design Scale ◼ ◼This chair's massive scale diminishes everything around it. ◼ ◼ The chair's light palate accentuates its skinny scale. ◼ ◼ This club chair matches the scale of the sofa.
- 43.
- 44. Principles of Design Scale ◼ ◼Center table is over- scaled for the sofa. ◼ ◼ Table not only looks out of scale, it functions poorly as well. ◼ ◼ The table is substantial enough to anchor the furniture grouping, yet it leaves room for traffic flow around both ends.
