(mountains; deserts; seas)

Visible architecture is composed of:

A plane extended in a direction other than its intrinsic direction. Conceptually it has three
dimensions: length, width and depth.

Primary shapes that can be extended or rotated to generate volume whose forms are
distinct, regular and easily recognizable

One of four basic possibilities for two forms to group together. This requires that the two
forms be relatively close to each other or share a common visual trait.

Defined geometrically as a line that is divided such that the lesser portion is to the greater
as the greater is to be the whole.
One type of cues used in depth perception where in one object appears to cut off the view
of another

Is the primary identifying characteristic of a volume. It is determined by the shapes and

interrelationships of the planes that describe the boundaries of volume

9 Is the attribute that most clearly distinguishes a form from its environment.
10 It is a comparison showing differences, the opposite of similarity.
The most important kind of character in architecture is that which result from the purpose
11 of the building or reason of erection.
12 Most elementary means of organizing forms and spaces in architecture.
Characterized by an arrangement where all the part radiate from a center like the spikes in
13 a wheel.
