Understanding fundamental principles in architecture helped me when I started my design classes. It helped me work on a concept and design based on the concept that I selected.
Some of the important elements I got started with and still working on today are:
Some of the important elements I got started with and still working on today are:
- Symmetry
- Axis
- Proportion
- Modular
- Scale

- Hierarchy
- Limits, Boundaries & Edges
- Path
- Transition
- Transformation
- Order & Organization
- Epicenter
One of the best books that I referenced to understand these concepts were Francis DK Ching's Architecture: Form, Space & Order. If you are an architecture student, I would highly recommend for your personal library.
On the internet you can find many valuable resources too. I found this article on Vitruvius's Fundamentals of Architecture.
My design professor keeps urging how important it is to work on a concept and design based on that. Also that we should able to present and justify why we decided to design a certain element in a specific way and why it is in alignment with our concept.
