PRIMARY ELEMENTS OF DESIGN

1. Point indicates a
position
A point extended becomes a
Line -

with properties of:

- length
- direction

- position
A line extended
becomes a
Plane - with properties of:
- length and width
- shape
- surface
- orientation
- position
A plane extended becomes a
Volume with properties of:
- length, width and depth
- form and space

- surface

- orientation

- position

POINTS

A point marks a position in space. Conceptually, it has no length, width or depth, and is
therefore static, centralized, directionless.
As the prime element in the vocabulary of form, a point can serve to mark:
- the two ends of a line
- the intersection of two lines
- the meeting of lines at the corner of a plane or volume
- the center of a field
Although a point theoretically has neither shape nor form, it begins to make its presence felt
when placed within a visual field. At the center of its environment, a point is stable and at
rest, organizing surrounding elements about itself and dominating its field.
When the point is moved off-center, however, its field becomes more aggressive and
begins to compete for visual supremacy.

POINT
A point
has no dimension. To visibly mark a position in space or on the ground plane, a point
ELEMENTS
must be projected vertically into a linear form, as a column, obelisk, or tower. Any such
columnar element is seen in plan as a point and therefore retains the visual characteristics
of a point. Other point-generated forms that share these same visual attributes are the:
