a visual form shall express its purpose of supporting a human body, the form of perception must be capable of a tendency to change into an image of a comfortable haptic form.

like these give a fair expression to the function of simple wearing but is sometimes necessary to create a structure.

Visual hemming in- sometimes appreciated as a protection, sometimes avoided as a hindrance-is one of the most important architectural expressions. The expression of hemming is given by inner floor, walls, and ceiling. The steep roof of a building can give a strong expression of protecting. A flat roof gives a weaker impression, but this can be compensated by heavy eaves, as seen from underneath. Buildings without eaves seems unprotected. Other perceptions add to the attributes of visual form. Dull and dark colors, and a pronounced texture, especially a pronounced deep texture, contribute to the expression mentioned

The expression of protection can become so strong that it develops into an expression of closeness or stuffiness. In such a case, it my become necessary to insert doors and windows in the wall. These elements will visually connect the closed room with adjacent spaces.

 The

perception of a door- even when closed-is transformed into an image of unimpeded motion, whilst a window which does not reach the floor is connected with the idea of a protected outlook. If the window does not reach the floor ,it is likely to combine with an image of unimpeded motion as well.

 Such

an image can become very unpleasant if the window is many storeys above the street. In well-designed houses, it can sometimes be seen that the architect has been aware of this, and has therefore placed the windows higher up in the wall on these storeys furthest from the ground.

 One

visual from which very well expresses the function of distributing light, sound, air and water, is the trumpet form ,which with sufficient variation be used for light fittings, megaphones and air mouthpieces. A tunnel-shaped object. Can also have the expression of catching and sucking in air or sound, as in the old-type.

function associated with the ability of ships cars and aeroplanes to leave their way during their rapid motion through air or water streamlining is the visual form of this function. The motor boat gives a definite expression of speed and efficiency as it makes its way through water, and to this expression, the sharp stem is probably the most important contribution.

Other perception, for example visually glossy and tactily smooth surface can also contribute to the expression of speed.

 Tools

which are not meant for dressing or manufacturing have a special kind of semantic interest. very often give spontaneously created and spontaneously perceived expression of their function.

expressions cannot be fully understood merely by reading books. Practical experience is absolutely necessary.

The purpose of an object cannot be often be visualized without at the same time visualizing how it is produced.

visual expressions for sawing, planning dressing and twining on a lathe, boring milling, cutting and so on.

definite expression of a production method is by modelling, a given quantity of material into a new shape.

work, moulding, casting, throwing, rolling and so on belongs to this group.

Plaiting

and weaving are indeed venerable techniques which have been used all over the world.

- Baskets demonstrate the way in which the appreciation of the expression of the technique is closely combined with a formal aesthetic evaluation of the pattern created by the technique.

The

putting together of objects by means of fitting different details closely is a technique, which is, from the point of view of expression often highly appreciated.

 Modular

Tongue and Groove

 It

is sometimes necessary to assemble parts of a building by specially made framing elements for this purpose. The professional Engineer or an Architect can obviously better appreciate this kind of expression than the layman especially a proper technical understanding of the structure highlights of the expression.

 Frame

-A skeletal structure of relatively slender members designed to give shape and support to a building or other construction. Framework -The construction of framework in which openings between the frames can be filled with sheets of wood glass iron plates and so on.

In architecture: The use of intimate fusion between different elements of the same or different materials is a relatively new technique based on a certain modern inventions such as reinforced concrete, plastic laminated plywood and welded iron structure.
