    PATTERN
    • the choice of patterns should not be taken
    as a stand-alone element of design as it is a
    part of the whole.
    • It can provide interesting points in the space
    • It can give a sense of direction and
    dimension and can produce energy and
    vitality.
    The most common
    patterns that are
    used in the design
    schemes of the
    interiors are the
    following:
    A. COMPLEX
    • It is a composition of
    several crisscrossing lines
    that gives intricacy to the
    design.
    • It can liven up a group in
    the right amount, or it can
    be overwhelming in a small
    space.
    B. VERTICAL LINES
    • They are used to add
    height in a small room
    C. HORIZONTAL LINES
    • they can give a sense that
    the space is bigger or
    shorten the height of a tall
    room
    D. FLORAL

    general and accent lighting

    VISUAL DESIGN
    PRINCIPLES IN
    ARCHITECTURE
    1. BALANCE
    • it is a natural attempt to balance and equalize things.
    • It is a state of equilibrium for visual forces that create
    a sense of stability.
    • The environment would balance temperature through
    the climate.
    In terms of design, balance is
    achieved through the following:
    a. Symmetrical – the elements on either side of
    the axis are arranged similarly; it provides
    formality and statistics
    b. Unsymmetrical – the elements on each side
    differ in shape but provide visual equilibrium.
    c. Radial – the elements are arranged around a
    circular form
    2, Rhythm and Movement

    •–it must be directed and controlled,


    similar to creating music. If the
    composition is unrelated and
    disorganized, the effect in music is it will
    create noise.
    3. Emphasis

    this is the process of establishing a specific


    element that would draw the attention of the
    viewers.
