Use of Shapes
Examples of Shapes
Shape:
Shape refers to the configuration of surfaces and edges of a twoor three-dimensional object. We perceive shape by contour or
silhouette.
Will classify shapes into two groups: the figures that have 2
dimensions: width and length and the figures of
three dimensions: width, length and depth
Rectangle:
A rectangle is a parallelogram whose four sides at
right angles to each other.
Square:
A square is a parallelogram with four equal sides
and four angles are also equal and straight.
Triangle:
A triangle is a polygon defined by
three intersecting lines. The points of
intersection of the lines are the vertex and line
segments are the sides of the triangle.
Circle:
A circle is the geometric curve flat, closed,
whose points are equidistant from the center.
Arch:
Is a design element in a curved or
polygonal, that covers the open space
between two walls. Placing all the burden
on the bow at the supports
Cube:
A cube is a solid object in the form of box
having six identical square faces.
Pyramid:
A pyramid is a polyhedron whose
base is any polygon and whose lateral
faces are triangles with a common
vertex called "the vertex of the pyramid."
Sphere:
A sphere is a solid figure bounded
by a closed curved surface whose
points are equidistant from
the center of the sphere.
Cylinder:
A cylinder surface is formed
by the points at a fixed distance
from a given straight line,
the cylinder axis.
In Architecture and Urban Planning
shapes are essential because are the
beginning of any design and affect the
structure and the spaces of a project.
Rectangle - Triangle
Semi sphere – Arches - Pyramid
