Point
A point
identifies a centralized position in space. A point can also indicate the
intersection of two lines or the two ends of a line. Vertical linear forms,
like columns, can also be characterized as a point seeing as it marks a point
on either the ground plane or in space.

As you can
see in this image of an interior living space, the vertical columns create
visible points on the ground plane where they intersect with the floor. The
point then pushes the eye upward along the column.
Line:
A line is a visual element that has length and is used to join visual elements along with define and give shape to planes.

Plane:
A plane is determined by the shape of the volume of space in which its lines define. Architectural designers recognize three types of planes. An overhead plane is that of the ceiling of any interior space. Wall planes are that of the vertical walls that enclose a space. The base plane is the horizontal surface that any space is built upon.

These images clearly show the three planes found in a interior space. The overhead plane is the ceiling. The wall plane is the wall. The base plane is the floor.
Volume is a three dimensional cluster of planes. It is created with points, lines, and planes. The interior of a volume can either be solid, like a brick, or hollow, like a room.

This image shows how the planes of the house add together to create the volume of a rectangle. 
I like how you used columns as an example for point as two points at the end of a line rather than describing point as a focal point in a room, which is what most of our classmates did. I also really like your theme and layout of your blog :)
ReplyDeleteHey Morgan! I really like your definitions of the words. I think it is really clear to the point. Also, All the different images that you brought into your blog, they are really helping me to understand meaning of the words visually. It is very well-organized overall.:)
ReplyDeleteHey Morgon!
ReplyDeleteI really like the font that you chose it looks pretty.
I appreciate your explanation adequate.
thank you
Hi Morgan, great examples for point, line, volume, and plane. They were easy to understand.
ReplyDeleteyour definitions really sum things up nicely and helped me understand the materials better... keep up the good work
