Home Assignment: Observation From Campus

rhythm

In this photo, I see that there is a rhythm.There is a regular repetition of columns and a movement from the point that I look to the end of the wall.

rhythm

In this photo, again, I see a rhythm.Pillars are repeating throughout overhead plane until the entrance.Moreover,there is a movement as showing us the way.

rhythm

There is also a rhythm.The repeating elements are stairs here, and between these stair groups, there are two flat planes,and a upward gradual movement.

hierarchy

In this photo, I see hierarchy.It is a structure consisting of three steps,and between them there is a high difference.Our focal point is on the heighest one,so I think it is a hierarchy.

hierarchy

In this photo, I see hierarchy.The building rises gradually,and at the top the heighest one takes attention.

repetition

Here,there is a repetition.Four same rectangular prisms consisting of windows are repeating in a regular way.

repetition

In this photo, I see repetition.Extending pyramid-like structures are repeating regularly along the entire wall.

repetition

Here is a repetition again.On the whole facade, same empty rectangles are repeating as being a figure or empty area is a background,and the vertical and horizontal lines are repeating.

dominance

In this photo, I see the dominance.In this area, the MM building is the heighest structure and it is in the middle of other buildings which surround it.Also there is a gap between MM building and the others, so it is the first building that take our attentions.As a result, it is the dominant part.

dominance

Here, I see the dominance again.On the roof, there is a cut cylinder.It is visible from anywhere and with its location and shape, it is the center of interest and the dominant part.

contrast

Here, I see contrast.There are two elements which have different tonal values like warm and cool, are used.The hardness resulting from the concrete is broken with brick,so there is a harmony which results from contrast.

figure ground

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    In this photo, I see figure ground relationship.The parts with balcony are repeating regularly on the whole surface,and again we cannot understand which one is figure or background.

figure ground

Here, I see a figure ground relationship.Columns are repeating amd behind them, windows are repeating,too.However,when we look ahead, it is going like one column one window one column one window again.Therefore we cannot understand which one is figure and which one is background.

figure ground

Here, I see figure ground relationship.Windows are placed on the wall in a way that we cannot understand which is figure.
