Color theory
When we go for a visit at e friend or at our relatives the first things we see as we go inside the house is the color they have used.There are some specific color that are totally not acceptable as yellow for example. Some times when we see somthing in yellow our head start hurting. In architecture we use some key word when we talk about colors such as: hue,value,chroma,tint,tone,shade. Even the color are seperated in three grups:Monochromatic colors,Achromatic colors,complementary colors. In fact colors it affect our emotion all the tim. But in architecture color is also used to emphasize of the building.Some times colors in buildings are used to orient people where to go. But from country to country its seen that the colors have different meaning for example in China the wedding dress is red but in europe is white.. In 15th century architects were not much interested in colors but in 17th and 18th century colors were important again.But a city with out colors is so empty this is the reason why colors should be always around us.

Light in architecture
We all are confidence that if we do not have natural light in houses we dont buy them.For this reasons architects try to create a lot spaces so the natural light can go through the houses. But light is not just for lighting the house its also important case it helps you as a architect to read different textures. In acient times it was used the bright open hall, i dont think this is used in nowdays at least i as a architect will not use it. But the house of Philip Johnson was a great job about the place it was cause if i built the same house here in tirana i am 100% sure that it wont be selled at all. I am totally okay with the part that quantity of light is not nearly as important as its quality. I like the idea to have close sides and open in the top cause it gives more attratction,its a good idea to be created in modern houses. But i dont like to have a huge hole in roof and everything else to be closed as in Pantheon. Its a greate structure but if you see it from the top it just looks like a huge hole in the roof. I like the idea of having a good lighted house but not overlighted house. For example Frank Lloyd Wright has created house based on this.

                                                          Scale and Proportion 
Steen Eller Rasmussen was a danish architect and urban planner that wrote a book about architecture. Although he is a great architect there are some theories that he had written about that i am not 100% agree.I am 100% okay with the part that by human scale we can understand the size of the space when we compare it to the elements whose dimensions are related with our dimensions.I like the idea of using this types of proportions as golden section and regulating lines etc, but i think that this many rules it stops new architect like me to create things that they have in they minds. The golden section is also used in humans. Modular man are cm that were messured in different ways for example how cm is a man when he is sitting etc. By this messurments a architect created a whole building which i am totally not okay. So he accepted the average human height as 183 cm,and everything in that building every wall every door is based on this height. What about me, i am 190 cm and i want a house there but i cant buy it. Or someone that is 150 cm he cant buy a house there because he wont be able to open the door.I think that architects cretae things in uses for different people.Anthropometry was another way of messurment based on human body this time were used just finger,foot and feet.This way was used in Frederik's hospital he thought that leaving 180 cm apart from bed to bed was a good thing.In fact it is but it is a waste of space, you may put 3 beds in a room that your thought that there should be just 2.But i also like Villa stein in Garches cause assymetrical shapes makes object more attractive and different from the traditional things. Even thought that i don't like this much rules i think that golden section is one of the most important section that a architect should follow.

                                         Perceptual bases for architectural design
A good architect should know some good bases before designing.For example i am totally okay with the light part cause a good architect should do a building with good natural light. Even electric light is important but as much as natural one i think. The part of texture is important to,because if a building has a good texture you can see a church from 100 km or a school. Of course before you will present your project to your client you should know which of the materials is the good one. For example the Sydney opera, good form but not good materials.Combing classic with modern is amazing i call it ability,not everyone can do it.Bulding program or building type are the key words for an architect if you are a good architect than you can use space good and positing a building in a important place is good.But all this things you can do it without going out of your style every architect should have its own style.We should also know how to use gestalts,figure/ground,center of gravity signs and symbols very good.Cause arcitecture is all about signs and gestalts.We should also do a good study to the ground that we would build cause its really important to know if that part of ground ia appropriate for building.

Designs are different in various arts
In now days we can classify the designs in terms of the senses.
A) Visual,static,surface design
They are mostly presented in two dimensional.they can be presented in a flat curving surface etc. The components mostly are line,color and texture.But we also have some subdivison of visual,static,surface design:
1)Strip design
They are long and narrow as in ribbons bordes. We can play in a kind of way with strip lines,for example we can produc more in left or more in right or we can increase them in size etc.
2) Bounded area design
This is a limit design.You can only create insed the surface you have.You should also be careful not to create small ovrleft parts beacause they will be part of your composition and they will ruin your composition.Mostly paintings of the type called abstract,nonobjective or nonrepresentational are mostly bounded are design.
3)Allover design
The allover design is the opposit of the bounded area.its a two dimensional and four directions.This design tends to go from one side to another of the box or other object ignoring its edges and corners,most of the times mosaic surfaces are treated in this way.
B)Visual,static,solid design
This type is three-dimensionally presented;it has considerable extent in thickness or depth as well as in length and breath.
1)Exterior design
Viewed from the outside.It mostly consist in different object placed in different areas for example in different parks or squars.
2)Interior design
Its used in closed areas,for example houses or enclosed city square.it also consist in objects but in this case it mostly consist in furniture.
3)Combination of the two
As the topic says is a combination between interior design and exterior design.We can mostly see it in building sorrounded by parks
4)intermediate
Between surface and solid design is sculptural relief which varies as to the amount of three-dimensional development.

Finally a well done work not a totally one but is better than other works

                                                            The definition of art

Imagin that you are with some of your friends in coffee talking about something and when suddenly th topic of art started between you guys.

First impressions…

Ten people ten different ideas. When we talk about art we don’t have an exact definition or an exact idea.Every one have different minds.even in the befor lets say at 70s when the topic was art no one had an exact definition of it. Some people thinks that art is someone that paints beautifully,some others thinks that art is when you do other things with reducable materials or me for example I thinks that art ia about everything that has a meaning or it has colors,or shapes. I don’t know why some people judge some other people about their art when we as a society don’t know what art si exactly inside. That’s one of the things I hate mostly about our society we think that we know everything and we stuck in out we know we don’t what no one to say that we are wrong. But to find the definition of art is like finding a small object in a huge huge place.

What is architecture?

Most of the people think that architectures are like artist.But they are quite different from each other.So in the early years the first persons that started to talk about architecture thought that architecture was just beautyfing buildings.But by the changes of time and time got more modern.Day by day and year by year all the ideas about architecture had been changed.When i  decided to study about architecture i have never thoung that architecture is about beautyfing bulding or houses.I still have that opinion that architecture is more doing some thing in another way different from other ones. A mere building from a architecture one are quite different cause a architecture knows how to build the same thing but in a different way or using some other materials that might be better than the materials that have been build lately.Even thounght in a kind of way the idea about architectures has been change still we have same old people lets say that thing that architecture is still about beauatyfing buildings.

 The final project between all of those project i have been doing all week. :)

Reproducing of a element
a lesson hour of ARCH101
i will do this work again so lets see the difference

First Assignment

THE WAY YOU CAN ARRANGE JUST ONE ELEMENT OF A PHOTO CAN MAKE YOU DO THOUSANDS OF NEW THING LIKE THIS ONE. ITS THE SAME ELEMENT 9 TIMES AND IT FORMS SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT DOESNT HAVE END IT WILL COUNTINUE FOREVER.
