Summary
Understanding of basic compositional terms based on analyzes of surface, spatial and color composition. Useful function and aesthetics of two-dimensional, spatial and architectural work within the harmonic composition of all its components and in the context of the creation of artificial space. Influence of layout elements (architectural shape, architectural space, scale), structural elements, material and aesthetic elements on the quality of architectural work and environment. Architecture, asymmetry, gradation, harmonization, category, contrast, scale, nuance, proportion, rhythm, composition elements, symmetry, perception, expression.
