Andrea Palladio
Life is a cycle of rapid changes that occur in everything. But there is a a constant specification in designing that will never change no matter how the years passes by.Not only did Renaissance architects find new ways to incorporate loggias into homes and public buildings, they also introduced freestanding loggias in public squares and plazas. In this sense, the loggia can be defined as an open-air, single-room, colonnaded, covered building in a public space.Loggias are used in multiple design forms and functions to serve alot of tasks.For instance,to let people walk through it,to have their cuisine.They are designed in several sizes depending on the purpose that it's build for.It is claimed that the squarer the shape is the more empirical it is.
Furthermore,There is a specific arrangement of the rooms that should be placed at either sides of the entrance and the hall to guarantee equilibrium load bearing on the walls to avoid any cause of cracking or shrinkage of the construction or the latter will be weaker, This results in a long term effect by destroying the whole building afterwards.There are quite many different forms of a room design around 7 different shapes.Rooms are usually built with two different roof constructing which is the ceiling and the vaults and they both are used to support the roofing system. Incase of choosing the ceiling,the ceiling of the pavement to the joist should be proportioned equally the breadth.On the contemporary,they construct vaults as it is considered to be more pleasant to the eyes and not combustible.The proportion of the vaults in square rooms is a third greater than their breadth.But with those that are longer than they are broad it is essential to derive the height frrom the breadth and length. that is the the sesquialtera. ( A rhythm in which three minims are made equal to a preceding two. Compare hemiolia).
For example, the Tuscan Temple. The place where the temple is to be built having been divided on its length into six parts, deduct one and let the rest be given to its width. Then let the length be divided into two equal parts, of which let the inner be reserved as space for the Celia, and the part next the front left for the arrangement of the columns to show intensity.The Tuscan is a live example to understand the idea behind proportioning the doors and windows to the building's levels.
The doors of rooms must not be made more than three feet wide or six and a half feet high,nor less than two feet wide and five high.Moreover,Architects should be considerate of the light entering the building throughout the openings of the buildings.The impact on indoor air quality as related to contaminant concentrations is not considered. Air exchange rates were determined for door opening frequency in addition to several window open areas using multiple zone tracer gas decay measurements. Data analysis shows that window opened area, door opening frequency, and indoor-to-outdoor temperature differences have the greatest effect on air exchange rates out of the measured parameters.
To sum up, Architecture is a matter of space quality and human activity in this space and how one responds towards the space. It's full of purpose and possibilities of buildings rather than an icon of beauty and glamour.The observance by the architects of each and every detail of the buildings produces a functional and efficacious spaces to be used up.
