Chapter I

 Primary Elements: Point, Line, Plane and Volume.

                                                                           1 -Point:  

What's the Point????

Point: Can be defined as a static form that even though has no shape, can be perceived through different forms such as a circle, sphere, cylinder, and in this example it can be seen at the end of the spire and also at the rose window on the front, in the form of a circle.

2- Line:

Don't Cross the Line!!!

Line: Unlike the point, a line expresses movement, direction, and it’s also one dimensional. The orientation of a line can define its meaning. In this case, these buildings can be perceived as linear elements that are creating a repetition of similar elements, but they don’t necessarily have to be straight. In this case the lines decided to relax and shoot for the stars……

                                     3- Plane:

Ohhh nooo, not that one…. ( even though it could be a good example..)

This one:

Plane: The plane has no depth, but has length and width. In this case, the lines are representing two dimensional plane

                              4-Volume:

Whaaaaat???

 Volume: A Volume can be understood as a plane that has three dimensions. It is identifiable by the form. As seen in this example, the form of a cube.
