“Reading” architecture requires us to allow buildings to “speak” to us.

But how can inanimate objects speak to us?

Especially if those objects are not representational?

According to Vitruvius (Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, 1st cent. BCE), in De Architectura a building must be considered in terms of three elements:

UtilitasFirmitas

Venustas

Page 12: Introduction to Architecture. “Reading” architecture requires us to allow buildings to “speak” to us. But how can inanimate objects speak to us? Especially.

Utilitas need function plan

Firmitas means structure section

Venustas art beauty elevation

Urge towards symmetry:

Firmitas/Stucture will always be a function of:

•Advances in engineering•Availability and strength of materials•Cost available for materials•Other historical and geographical factors

“Architecture is the adaptation of form to resist force.” John Ruskin (19th c.)

Page 21: Introduction to Architecture. “Reading” architecture requires us to allow buildings to “speak” to us. But how can inanimate objects speak to us? Especially.

All structures seek a balance between tension and compression.

Traditionally there were two ways to handle this:

through trabeated structures

or through arcuated structures.

What makes architecture good?• Does it express its function in a meaningful,

interesting, and appealing way?• Does it seem to “fit” its surroundings (by

complementing or contrasting with it in an interesting and meaningful way)?

• Is its design and execution structurally sound?• Does it create a meaningful (interesting,

surprising, enjoyable, delightful, disturbing etc.) space?

• Will it endure? Has it endured?

Analyzing a Building:

• Space: Solids and Voids

• Scale and Proportion

• Weight & Mass

• Basic Design Elements

Page 29: Introduction to Architecture. “Reading” architecture requires us to allow buildings to “speak” to us. But how can inanimate objects speak to us? Especially.

Analyzing a Building:

• Space: Solids and Voids– Symmetry– Asymmetry

Page 30: Introduction to Architecture. “Reading” architecture requires us to allow buildings to “speak” to us. But how can inanimate objects speak to us? Especially.

Symmetry

Page 31: Introduction to Architecture. “Reading” architecture requires us to allow buildings to “speak” to us. But how can inanimate objects speak to us? Especially.

Asymmetry

Page 32: Introduction to Architecture. “Reading” architecture requires us to allow buildings to “speak” to us. But how can inanimate objects speak to us? Especially.

Analyzing a Building:

• Weight & Mass:– Materials– Massing for Weight– Relationship to Ground (high or low?)– Texture– Color– Ornamentation– Light– Acoustics– Context
