Volume-spatial composition, its structure and application

volume-spatial composition - a kind of attempt to regulate human surroundings of some particular way.This term is common in architecture, painting, construction, landscape design.The spatial composition in architecture has traditionally formed by three means:

  • location of the volume in the space;
  • mutual relations of proportions, symmetry, color, volume scaling architecture, its parts and components;
  • inclusion in the composition and use of the active elements of landscape art, painting and sculpture.

We live in a three-dimensional space, because at any object or structure is measured by its length, width and height.It is three-dimensional and different every volumetric spatial composition, it is - its main property.Therefore, for example, when working on a project of the building, as the main task should be to determine the composition of its ambiance on using different viewpoint.

If the composition is dominated by one of the variables, parameters, and then it gives the composition corresponding to the characteristic feature.For example, if a high-rise building, its parameters and characteristics of the predominant height.If Length of - that there is a predominance of length.If the building is flat - there prevailed the width parameter.

The volumetric spatial composition, depending on the parameters are classified on the basis of the front, and spatiality of volume.

Song types

  • frontal or frontal-plane is considered to be a composition that is intended that it will be seen on the one hand and certain to take on the static point of view.This type - facade, central view of the house from the street, individual design of the building walls.At the front of her songs all the main elements are arranged for the viewer's perception in two dimensions - width and height.The depth does not play a special role and is of secondary importance.But important is the ratio of width to height, shape, silhouette buildings, vertical slope, window openings.Front composition is detected through a variety of expressive elements: different kinds of articulation (speaking, the division of the wall into squares and other geometric shapes), the connection of straight and curved surfaces, color inserts, etc.
  • bulk composition - it is designed for viewing from all sides and is perceived as one moves around it.For example, an old castle or a small compact house on a separate site, garden or fountain.These buildings are examples of bulk compositions aswidth, height and depth are of equal importance here.In the design of the main task of architects - to identify compositional three-dimensionality.For this amount of members at some parts, which emphasize any of the details: the shifted form recesses, etc .;mapped the surface, contrasting appearance - sloping, rectangular, etc .;match colors and textures.
  • composition of deep-space.It is characterized by the creation of forms that give birth in the audience a sense of the depth of the architectural structure.This type of composite is formed or closed at the top and on all sides by a space (for example, the interior), or a space, which is limited on the one hand, or with a few (exterior).A typical deep-space outdoor composition - the courtyard, enclosed by a fence with several parties.
  • The volumetric spatial composition is not only external but also internal space.It distinguish between such varieties: aisles, connected, Valium, enfilade, corridor.Each has its own distinctive features and scope.

The architectural practice is traditionally used a combination of several tracks at a time, resulting in a mixed system.
