Activity 1.1.2 Design Principles and Elements
IntroductionHave you ever noticed how buildings of similar size and shape can have completely different visual effects? Architects, like artists, must understand the elements and principles of design and how they affect the visual impact of the building on a viewer. Whether it is the intent of the architect to create a feeling of strength and stability or to create an unusual form that will elicit a double-take from the public, the elements and principles of design can be used to manipulate the intellectual and emotional reactions of the people who see and use the building.

Conclusion1. In what way do certain elements or principles identify the time period in which a
structure was created?
A building built in an earlier time period will generally be built with weaker materials and often have a verity of colors and textures.
2. What factors might account for an incorrect identification?
A factor that could account for an incorrect identification could be if the building was changed as time progressed.

3. Describe an example of a way that design principles and elements could impact the function of a building.
An example of a way that design principles and elements could impact the function of a building is that a asymmetrical building could be more of a tourist attraction than an office building.
