Geometry
Simple but significant
The first lesson in design, Basic Form: dot, line and plane. Every form created by planes, which are connected by lines joined by dots.
The first similar lesson also applied to Sketch. How basic forms: cube, cylinder/cone/pyramid and sphere interact with light, to create the depth of an object or space.
Strength created by linear, triangular, or curved planes is basic for the first lesson of product design. And this also applies to building architecture from scratch to reality.
As an interior designer, I was trained with a strong perception of the above, which helps when I shoot. It’s almost an instinct of awareness to attractive geometries wherever found. Above is a photo I took on the day when I explored a construction site near the airport.
At that moment, I didn’t know what this building was because I couldn’t find a sign. It seemed it was not any famous architecture, but it was just outstanding in this space. A simple form structure played well with shadow and light under a clear blue sky backdrop.
It reminds me of the architectural design of Centre Pompidou in Paris, though this is on a much smaller scale presentation.
