THE APPLICATION OF HIERARCHY PRINCIPLE ON TECTONIC EXPLORATION

Hierarchy principle is a rank or order of importance of various spaces that occurs when there is one form that is emphasized in an organization of shapes. There are three ways to achieve that such as by changing the size, shape and placement. Thus we can explore more towards hierarchy principle by applying some rules such as cut, extrude, mirror, shift on an axis and then add a third element then have colour and pattern. (Ching 2015)

 

Hierarchy principle is used to further execute the tectonic exploration that is derived from the importance between spaces of programming exploration.

" Tectonic in architecture is defined as the science or art of construction, both in relation to use and create and artistic design. It refers not only to the activity of making the materially requisite construction that answers certain needs, but rather to the activity that raises this construction to an art form." (Maulden 1986)
