Elements of Architectural Design |
||
![]() |
Understanding architectural design is simplified
if you think of the “façade” or face of the building
as a painting. You are then able to use the language of art and design
to talk about the image you see. In this section of the site, we will
practice describing architecture by looking for aesthetic elements as
described in Dr Harry S. Broudy’s Aesthetic
Concept Model. Broudy organizes the elements of design into four
categories: Sensory, Formal,
Technical, and Expressive.
