ELEMENTS OF SPACEMAKING / ELEMENTS OF ARCHITECTURE

29 December, 2021

As one of my faculties from my bachelor study suggest me this book she told me that refer this book once in your academic journey and I thought if she told me means there is definitely something important in this book so I refer this book I start reading.

I just opened the book and saw the index showing seven elements which are Floor , Column , Wall , Door , Window , Stair and Roof and for each elements there is another individual index which includes Definition , Anatomy , Evolution , Attributes , Spatial Roles , Applications , Design Considerations.

To be honest , after reading these words , I thought that I would have to take some time to read this book to understand these and I was going to close the book but then I thought , just look at the first chapter only , I don’t want to read or understand it at that time , but just want to see what is included in that chapter. I started rolling pages and I saw some very nice sketches with patterns on the floor and I found it very interesting.

In which there was pattern on floor and if we see these patterns can show the path , defines area zoning , divide spaces and use for aesthetic purpose also. Looking at these sketches , I am amazed that we can give a new purpose to the design by simply using different patterns.

After a discussion with Belinda , she suggested me another book related to this one and the name of that book is ‘” ELEMENTS OF ARCHITECTURE “.

I found this book from the University Library I was issue this book and looking at the chapters and found chapter of flooring and ceiling and again I found some very interesting images of flooring which have very good and unique patterns and these patterns also has the same purpose of showing path , define zoning , dividing area and also for aesthetic purpose too.
