Basics!! PRIMARY ELEMENTS.


 To understand or create spaces, one should always  go back to the basics. Primary Elements.



  1. Point: to determine anything in space we need a it. As people say we always have to take a step froward to make anything happen; Point is the step here that we have to create so that the other elements of design can exist.

Here is an example as to how points can be used in an building environment:

 Points can be used to create drama or bring emphasis to a certain building.








 2. Line: We see lines everywhere. Line is basically a group of points connected together. A line is one-dimensional form, as connecting the points creates length. In interior spaces we have varies lines as design elements.

Here is a example of lines used in interior spaces:

 The repetition of lines through out the room has brought the space to together, design wise.

3. Plane: It is originated when a line changes it’s direction. This makes it a two dimensional form, as now it is dealing with length and width.

Example of planes used in interior spaces: 

There are planes here that are imaginary and solid but of the same shape. The repetition is used as a design element for this space.

4.Volume: It is created when a plane extends in the third direction, depth. All the primary elements will be included in this  space.  And this space can be solid or void.

Here is a example as to how volume can be present in interior spaces:

In this interior space, we can say everything has volume as all the objects are dealing with the three dimensions. But the most obvious one is the island as it is in a solid form.
