hi friend ,
movement plays a very important role in architectureand it can be created in many many ways .eg.producing movt. by creating focal points.it can be easily created using a set converging frames.such a kind of concept can be seen in religious buildings (like churches),auditoriums ,etc. where a focal point is neccesary to converge the audience's attention towards the speaker,or gods idols or whatever it mmay be.

hi rearc22,
focal points are specific points or regions in a space ,to which an observer in the space is
mostly attracted due to the the special effects of the arrangement of the architectural components in that space.ie the archiyectural components in such a space are oriented,or coloured in such a way that our vision is diverted to the focal point .thus an automatic movt.is created in such a space , in which the movt. of the eyes end in this focal point.give a google search for unlv libraries in to find further informations.

| No...... the answere is easier than that. The only way to create movement 3dimensionaly (besides using movable parts) is through repetition of elements. having multiple features that relate to each other either through reflection or distraction force the eyes to follow the structural elements...by the way i just pulled this out of my ass |

A cool example - use the Search page here (link below in page footer) and search ArchitectureWeek for the story "Dances with Building".
Try some other ArchWeek searches too. The Koolhas student center in Chicago comes to mind.... |
