Design Glossary A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H - I - J - K - L - M - N - O - P - Q - R - S - T - U - V - W - X - Y - Z -W A Additive Primaries (Light-Based) “The Additive primaries are red, green, and blue. Because of the response curves of the three different color receptors in the human eye, these colors are optimal in the sense that the largest range of colors (gamut) visible by humans can be generated by mixing light of these colors. (…) Mixing equal proportions of the additive primaries results in shades of grey; when all three colors are fully saturated, the result is white.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_colour#Additive_primaries Art Deco “Involving a mix of modern decorative art styles, largely of the 1920s and 30s, whose main characteristics were derived from (…) styles of the early twentieth century. Art deco works exhibit aspects of Cubism (…) – with abstraction, distortion, and simplification, particularly geometric shapes and highly intense colors – celebrating the rise of commerce, technology, and speed. The growing impact of the machine can be seen in repeating and overlapping images from 1925; and in the 1930s, in streamlined forms derived from the principles of aerodynamics. The name came from the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs Industriels et Modernes, held in Paris, which celebrated living in the modern world. It was popularly considered to be an elegant style of cool sophistication in architecture and applied arts which range from luxurious objects made from exotic material to mass produced, streamlined items available to a growing middle class.” Source: www.artlex.com Art Nouveau Art Nouveau “(From French for “new art”), movement in Western art and design, which reached its peak during the 1890s. Hallmarks of the art nouveau style are flat, decorative patterns; intertwined organic forms such as stems or flowers; an emphasis on handcrafting as opposed to machine manufacturing; the use of new materials; and the rejection of earlier styles. In general, sinuous, curving lines also characterize art nouveau. (…)The term art nouveau comes from an art gallery in Paris, France, called Maison de l'Art Nouveau (House of New Art), which was run by French dealer Siegfried Bing. (…)Art nouveau flourished in a number of European countries, many of which developed their own names for the style. Art nouveau was known in France as style Guimard, after French designer Hector Guimard; in Italy as the stile floreale (floral style) or stile Liberty, after British art nouveau designer Arthur Lasenby Liberty; in Spain as modernisme; in Austria as Sezessionstil (secession style); and in Germany as Jugendstil (youth style).” Source: encarta.msn.com B Baroque “The Baroque style used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, literature, and music. The style started around 1600 in Rome, Italy and spread to most of Europe. (…)The popularity and success of the "Baroque" was encouraged by the Roman Catholic Church when it decided that the drama of the Baroque artists' style could communicate religious themes in direct and emotional involvement.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque C CAD Computer-Aided Design may be performed from the AutoCAD program. This is an operating system that makes it possible to draw by referring to a library of graphical codes. Colour Wheel The discovery and development of laws in physics as well as physiology made it possible to create systems for representing colour that remain valid today. The most well-known theory of contrast is that of Johannes Itten, based on the twelve-colour (three primary, three secondary, six tertiary) colour wheel. Complementary Colour “1. Either one of two colours whose mixture in the right proportions produces white (in the case of light) or grey (in the case of pigment). 2. A colour directly opposite another on a colour wheel and providing the greatest chromatic contrast to it.” Source: www.bartleby.com Cubism “Cubism is usually regarded as the most important and influential art movement since the Italian Renaissance; it was an avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture in the early 20th century.In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form — instead of rendering objects from a single fixed angle, the artist depicts the subject from multiple angles simultaneously as an attempt to present the subject in the most complete manner.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubism. D Design Online Training Design Courses Design School Dimension Line Design Online Program Design Online Courses Design Training Design Online School The dimension line indicates the distance measured – that is, the dimensions. Dimensioning The process of indicating the exact measurements (dimensions) of the elements in the drawing. E Elevation Frontal view indicating heights. This view shows walls including decorative elements such as pictures and furniture. In an elevation view, the drawing is bounded by lines indicating the floor and the ceiling. Empire Style (French First Empire style): “relating to a style of architecture, furniture, and clothing popular during the French First Empire (1804-1815) during the reign of Napoleon I.” Source: encarta.msn.com Extension Line Extension lines are perpendicular to the dimension line, and also cross it. These define the limits of dimensions. F Finishing The second construction phase – finishing – includes the installation of ducts, pipes and façades. Mechanical, electric and communications fittings make the interior habitable and comfortable: they provide heating, ventilation, air conditioning, potable water, electricity, and lighting, as well as allowing for the disposal of used water. A façade perforated by windows and doors constitutes a casing that protects the building from the outside. G Gothic Style "Noting or pertaining to a style of architecture, originating in France in the middle of the 12th century and existing in the western half of Europe through the middle of the 16th century, characterized by the use of the pointed arch and the ribbed vault, by the use of fine woodwork and stonework, by a progressive lightening of structure, and by the use of such features as flying buttresses, ornamental gables, crockets, and foils." Source: www.infoplease.com Graphical Code This is a catalogue of symbols related to construction. This is a reference document used in engineering and design departments. H Harmony “a pleasing effect produced by an arrangement of things, parts, or colours” Source: encarta.msn.com Hue “a property of a colour that enables it to be perceived, for example, as red or green and that is determined by its dominant wavelength” Source: encarta.msn.com I Interior Design (Design Online School - Design Courses - Design Online Courses - Design Online Training - Design Training - Design Online Program - Design School - Design Online School) Interior Design Program (Design Courses: Design Online School: Design Online Courses: Design Online Training: Design Training: Design Online Program: Design School: Design Online School) Interior Design Online Program (Design Courses; Design Online School; Design Online Courses; Design Online Training; Design Training; Design Online Program; Design School; Design Online School) The third phase of construction is devoted to the interior design; this part is composed of invariable structures such as interior walls, devices, equipment and finishes. M Minimalism 1. A school of abstract painting and sculpture that emphasizes extreme simplification of form, as by the use of basic shapes and monochromatic palettes of primary colors, objectivity, and anonymity of style. Source: www.bartleby.com 2. A movement of abstract artists who produce uncluttered paintings and sculptures that make use of basic colors and geometric shapes in impersonal arrangements. The movement originated in New York in the 1960s. Source: encarta.msn.com Model A three-dimensional representation of a project – that is, a scale model – constructed of cardboard. N National Building Code This contains all the regulations needed to ensure the health, safety and well-being of the users of buildings. Interior design cannot escape from these regulations – in fact, on the contrary, it voluntarily submits to them in order to legitimize its goals.. O Orthogonal Projection Also called orthographic projection. “Method of representing views: a way of providing a two-dimensional graphic view of an object in which the projecting lines are drawn at right angles to the plane of projection. In so doing this type of presentation appears to give the feeling of three dimensions.” Source: encarta.msn.com P Perspective A view that contributes to the understanding of the project. It is a three-dimensional view in which height, width and depth are visible. Plan View A horizontal view of a drawing; a layout is seen from above, in which all the rooms may be distinguished, as well as the partitions that separate them. Primary Colour “designating any of the colours red, green and blue, or for pigments red, blue and yellow, from which all other colours can be obtained by mixing.” Source: Oxford Encyclopedic English Dictionary (1991) R Reference Circle Information – references to other pages or views – is indicated inside a circle. An arrow may be added to indicate the direction of the view. Renaissance “The Italian Renaissance of the 15th century, spreading through the rest of Europe, represented a reconnection of the west with classical antiquity, the absorption of knowledge (…), the return of experimentalism, the focus on the importance of living well in the present (…), an explosion of the dissemination of knowledge (…) and the creation of new techniques in art, poetry and architecture which led to a radical change in the style, and substance of the arts and letters. (…)The Italian Renaissance is often labeled as the beginning of the "modern" epoch.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance Rendering Colouring the plan, elevations, perspectives and furniture in order to highlight the subject of the drawing. S Saturation “the degree of chroma or purity of a colour; the degree of freedom from admixture with white.” Source: www.infoplease.com Scale Relationship of measurements that makes it possible to understand and see a project in relation to a reference. An architectural scale makes it possible to measure to scale, either according to the metric (metres, centimetres, millimetres) or imperial (feet, inches) system. Schedule A table that indicates the graphical symbols. There is a schedule for each stage or type of plan (e.g. Electrical Schedule, Schedule of Finishes, etc.). Secondary Colour “the result of mixing two primary colours.” Source: Oxford Encyclopedic English Dictionary (1991) Section A cut in an elevation that makes it possible to see the composition of a wall. Shell In the first phase of construction, the shell only includes the load-bearing structures of the building: the foundations, pillars, beams or girders, floors, load-bearing walls, roofing. As the name suggests, this constitutes a shell onto which the other systems needed for the building to function are added. Sketch A graphical expression that provides a general idea of the project. Subtractive (Or Pigmentary) Primary Colour “Media that use reflected light and colorants to produce colors are using the subtractive color method of color mixing. In the printing industry, to produce the varying colors, apply the subtractive primaries yellow, cyan, and magenta together in varying amounts. (…) In theory, mixing equal amounts of all three pigments should produce shades of grey, resulting in black when all three are fully saturated, but in practice they tend to produce muddy brown colors.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_colour#Subtractive_primaries T Tertiary Colour “1. A colour resulting from the mixture of two secondary colours. 2. A colour resulting from the equal mixture of a primary colour with either of the secondary colours adjacent to it on a colour wheel.” Source: www.bartleby.com Title Block “Frame within which appears various information about a technical drawing. The information found in it varies according to need; it may include the drawing’s title and number, the name of the object represented, the scale and method of projection used, the date when the drawing was produced, the drawing’s format, the name of the person or company that produced the drawing, the seal and signature of the author and of those who have made modifications to the drawing, the list of modifications, and the initials of the people who approved the drawing.” Source: translated from Multidictionnaire Tonal Value “Lightness or tonal value is the light or dark of a color regardless of its hue.” Source: www.handprint.com Uglossary_e_learning User Co-Ordinate System (UCS) “A user-defined coordinate system that defines the orientation of the X, Y, and Z axes in 3D space. The UCS determines the default placement of geometry in a drawing.” Source: AutoCAD 2005 V Victorian Style “a. noting or pertaining to the architecture, furnishings, and decoration of English-speaking countries between c1840 and c1900, characterized by rapid changes of style as a consequence of aesthetic and philosophical controversy, technological innovations, and changes of fashion, by the frequent presence of ostentatious ornament, and by an overall trend from classicism at the start to romanticism and eclecticism at the middle of the period and thence to classicism again, with attempts at stylistic innovation occurring from time to time. b. noting or pertaining to the massive, elaborate work characteristic esp. of the period c1855–80, derived mainly from the Baroque and Gothic styles and characterized by the presence of heavy carved ornament, elaborate moldings, etc., by the use of strong and generally dark colors, by the frequent use of dark varnished woodwork, by the emphasis on geometrical form rather than on textural effects, and frequently by an effect of harshness.
