Architectural design

In 1624 Sir Henry Wotton, an English architect, stated the requirements of good architecture in three words, “commodity, firmness and delight”.

This covers the ground today as it did 300 years ago. A building that is commodious in the sense of being suitable and sufficient for the intended use, one that will withstand the effect of nature and the loads and strains to which it is subjected, and that is pleasing to the intelligent observer, represents good architecture. None of the three primary elements are in depended of the others. The plan must be sufficiently flexible to meet the demands of stability and appearance.

A design must declare its intention, so far as possible. It should indicate the character of the building as political, religious, domestic, etc. In the expression of this lies a good measure of its success. The several parts of a design must be in harmony if not in symmetry, and in scale. Finally, good design requires grace of form, articulation of parts, dominant elements, proportion and emphasis. In their turn, these qualities are depended upon mass, outline, color and details.
