Learning architecture harmony through proportion

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

In my thesis, I am trying to discover the beauty of proportion in architecture. I want to find the harmony and relationship between the elevation and interior spaces. After years of architectural learning, I always start a project from plan drawings. But it all finished by designing a facade which is completely separate from the interior space. The question of how to design an elevation has confused me. I believe the design of the elevation should be an integral part of the process of architectural design. Therefore, in this thesis, I made a series of studies about proportion in order to have a deeper understanding of the relationships between elements in architecture. the relationships between elements in architecture.
