This document discusses how artists use basic shapes and forms to create artwork. It provides examples of how Picasso used geometric shapes in his paintings and how shapes can be used to work out positioning and proportions. Various examples are given of how artists have used forms, volumes, negative space, lines and textures to create a sense of weight, depth, chaos or futuristic styles in their artistic works. Basic forms are also shown to change over time based on aesthetics and fashion.
Models, conceptual structures, and enterprise architectureSimon Polovina
Many disciplines rely on models to represent reality. Models may range from a miniature representation of some physical entity, to a simplified representation of a system or phenomenon so we can understand and test it. Not all models can represent their corresponding real-world entities as easily as a model of a building or a motor car. Models of economic or social systems for instance are representations more of concepts and beliefs than physical forms. An enterprise, such as Sheffield Hallam University, is more than just its buildings, equipment or financial statements. Such visible entities are simply the structures that follow from its strategy, which is just as real. Strategy is moreover the driving entity and the enterprise is ineffective without it. Enterprise Architecture (EA)recognises that enterprises (profit-making or not) are essentially creative human endeavours. They are embodied in conceptual models that sit uneasily ‘on the same page’ with the structural models that depict how enterprises physically organise themselves to achieve those endeavours. These models pull in different directions and the physical entities tend to win out due to their visible presence; history shows the emergence of bureaucratic structures, inter-departmental conflicts, inadequate computer systems and other experiences where strategy is lost and ends up following structure: ‘The tail wagging the dog’. For EA we desire ‘conceptual structures’, which align the expressivity of conceptual models with the simplicity of structural models. In EA frameworks, conceptual structures are presently expressed through ‘metamodels’ that attempt to bring together the conceptual with the structural. The seminar thus explores the adequacy of these metamodels through a simple Financial Trading case study. It is shown that by aligning the conceptual, logical and mathematical levels of the metamodels, constructive relationships can be made between concepts and structures. As such, structures support rather than hinder the human creativity that enables enterprises to better reach their goals.

LEED v4 Green Building Focuses on Lighting Rob Freeman
Discover why lighting is such a critical part of every green, eco-friendly building destined for LEED certification. Learn how to maximize the available credits by using smart lighting, light sensors, and more.
Last February 17, 2012, the 2nd IIEE-CRCSA Technical Seminar kicked off with a good response from the members and non-members with the participation of more than 100 who showed-up at the White Palace Hotel, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Seminar title was “Basics of Indoor Lighting using DIALux”. The seminar was conducted by Engr. Michael T. Santiago, a Lighting Application & Design Engineer from Saudi Lighting Company. The participants were awed by his DIALux 4.10 software demonstration specially when he imported a room layout from AutoCad drawing and applied the lighting calculation on it which later provided a very nice colored 3-D drawing of the room. A continuation of this seminar which is “Basics of Outdoor Lighting” will be presented on the incoming 14th Midyear Convention.

4. Basic shapes are used to help us figure our proportions. In this image, shapes have been used to work out the positioning and proportion in this figure.
5. In this image, on the left we see an example of positive space and on the right an example of negative space where the space in-between the form has been shaded in to emphasize the ram.
6. Another example of negative space with a degree of depth created by the shading in the negative spaces.
7. An incredibly voluminous architectural art piece. You can feel the weight and fullness of the piece because of its curved shape.
9. This furniture has a rectilinear, sharp uncluttered form. Its is quite a masculine form. Functional and to the point.
10. This artwork has quite futuristic form. It is quite a large piece and is very heavy based on the materials used but the use of line to create the form makes the art piece look delicate and quite light a and airy.
11. Our typical ideas about what a house should look like it challenged by the form of this house which is out of the ordinary.
14. In this painting, the bulbous forms can be felt out with the eye and you can feel the texture and weight of the forms. This image also plays with space and scale as the three pyramids at the bottom, one would picture as huge architectural forms but in this image they are dwarfed by the curvy form on top.
15. The expressive lines not only describe the form of the figure but the lines jutting outwards make the figure quite voluminous. There is a sense of chaos about this image.
16. How shapes and forms change to keep up with what is considered aesthetically pleasing or in fashion at the time.
