Abstract

Architecture, together with painting, sculpture, music, and poetry, has long been classified in the domain of “Arts” or “Fine Arts” (Greene 1940) and studied within this fine arts domain. For example, architecture has been extensively studied by architectural historians to understand historical developments, and by theorists to explore individual characteristics (Pothorn 1982). Thus, architectural style has been described as the collective characteristics of buildings where structure, unity and expressiveness are combined in an identifiable form related to a particular period or region, sometimes to an individual designer or school of design (Smithies 1981, p. 25). All these notions and approaches attempt to examine the prominent features in forms and to systematically illustrate the underlying cultural, social, economical, and technical relationships among different regions, periods, and designers that are associated with these features.

1
In color rendering and printing, a few color models are developed. The four common ones applied in most computer software are (1) hue, saturation, and brightness (HSB); (2) red, green, and blue (RGB); (3) cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK); and (4) CIE L*a*b, which L is for lightness and a and b are the color-opponent dimensions of x, y in the color space.
 
2
The geometric relationships between the repeated features (forms) and other elements define syntax, which has not been focused in this book.
 
3
Designs by Charles Moore and Robert Venturi, in general, represent vernacular style in the States. Using photographs of their works published in various architectural periodicals (Bloomer and Moore 1977; Allen 1980; Johnson 1986), 11 buildings were selected as examples and experimental stimulus for explanatory purposes. See Fig. 4.9.
 
4
Form generalization: In psychology, a form represents the entity of a notion. Form generalization is the formation of a general concept which is an act or process of recognizing or perceiving similarity or relation between different stimuli, as between words, colors, sounds, lights, concepts, or feelings, to make a common knowledge.
 
5
The frequency of appearance varies among individual styles. In Wrights Prairie Style, for instance, a large set of common features was constantly apparent in most of his designs. Thus, Wrights style was more constant than Charles Moores style.
 
6
Two personal interviews with Professor Charles Moore were conducted in Austin, Texas on 15 and 16 of November, 1991. This piece of information was obtained from these personal conversations.
 
7
For two tails distribution (as Fig. 4.17), 95 % internal of the data is statistically recognized as significant.
 
8
The contradiction between this result and the results on the Experiment 2 (that a style is determined by the number more than the identity of characteristic features present) may be explained by the fact that the feature effect is balanced by the variable of individual student effect which is not present in this experiment.
 
9
In this experiment, the size of a feature is not an issue as long as it is within the normal and expected range for that kind of feature. An unusually massive roof or a set of tiny windows will certainly be noticeable.
