- art of design and erecting buildings
- generally describes structures
- method of construction
- behaviour of a building
- form follows function (modern concept)
- sustainability
- spacial zones
- digital models- spaces can be changed around
- space is the immaterial sense that the architect envelops and the painter suggests
- space having a quality other than emptiness
- space is void, which means there is an absence of mass, but it is filled with air
- shape, size, colour, texture, position, orientation
- shape defines a form
- Frank Lloyd Wright believed that form and function are one
- without understanding form, it is impossible to comprehend function
- the building needs to have a use, purpose or reason for existing
- functionality is a key component in integrating architecture and the environment
Considerations:
- planning
- designing
- constructing form
- space
- ambience
- functional
- technical
- social
- environmental
- aesthetic
- material
- technology

Feel of a Space:
- comfortably enclosing
- depressingly shut-in
- liberatingly spacious
- personal bubble
- different experiences for different people in the same space
- diffuse lighting lessens shadow
- less perception of depth
- soft, diffuse or warm light gives feeling of restfulness
- sharp, cool light gives feeling of liveliness
