FLOOR
The floor is essentially a horizontal plane, providing a firm
Datum, a resting plane for all objects in that space.
As the base plane, the floor is a single entity with references
only to the gravity, the ‘downward’ force.
Where levels are involved, the relative positions of other
base planes get perceived as above or below the reference plane

CREATION OF PLINTH
(Horizontal surface provides the most secure and stable surface for habitation)
Mythology, in most cultures, refer to a time when the world was completely
covered with water- a flat plate or a swirling sphere.
The land emerged from this primordial ocean, generating life.
Allusion to this is seen in the metaphorical depictions in buildings throughout history.

FLOOR
1. FLOOR FOR DEFINITION OF SPACE
floor modulated to satisfy different utilitarian
Functions within the unit,

Spaces made conspicuous by various expressions
Carved marble flooring, Lotus fountain
Red fort, Delhi
A perceptible change in
the flooring strongly
delineates and demarcates
a difference in the zone.
Eg- colours, textures,
materials, elevations and
depressions, accessories
such as rugs and carpets.

FLOOR
2. DATUM AND REFERENCE
Nehru pavilion, New Delhi
Floor becomes an ultimate reference node,
Ensembling the spaces together
enhanced in different ways
Due to its flatness floor
automatically provides a
reference to all the
elements that come above
it or below it.This aspect
of common reference
makes it the datum, the
unifying factor in the
organization of space.
•Floor emerges from beneath
•Floor as plinth

FLOOR
3. FLOORING AS MOVEMENT GUIDE
Mughal garden, Red fort, New Delhi
The floor being the datum
upon which all movement
of both persons and goods
take place, it can be
effectively used to
accentuate movement
patterns
By variations in level and surface of the
horizontal plane, movement pattern is generated
Katsura palace, Kyoto
KETHEESWARAN M.ARCH

FLOOR
4. FLOOR TO EXPRESSTHRESHOLD
Traditional tatami flooring in house interior, KyotoThe floor beyond being a
plinth, signifies a threshold
and offers a transition
from ambiguous
surrounding to contained
volumes. It is often hinted
by raising the floor plane
by a small interval and
lowering it again.
•A transition into different realms is distinctly
identified in the floor
•Texture and level change denote threshold

FLOOR
5. FLOOR FOR COMMUNICATION
Water channel at Jahaz Mahal, Mandu
Floors are walked over
and this constant function
demands constant visual
reference to the plane
underfoot.This provides
the floor with a high
potential for
superimposing signs and
symbols as they effectively
get registered.
•Water channels serving dual purpose of supplying
water and aesthetic expression
Maze at Chartres Cathedral, France
•Superimposing signs and symbols to welcome and
reflect individual identification

COLUMN
KETHEESWARAN M.ARCH

COLUMN
A column is essentially a slender vertical supporting element,
Loaded from the top and transferring the load axially to the base.
It is free-standing except for the structure above it
and the anchorage at the base.

1. CENTRALITY
Commanding space with its off-centre placement
Qutub Minar, Delhi
St. Peter’s Bascilica,Vatican City
Commanding space with its central placement
COLUMN
A column marks a locus- a
central position in space.
Due to this, other
elements which form a
part of the ensemble
gravitate towards the
column.
KETHEESWARAN M.ARCH

2. VERTICALITY
Columns together adding visual composition to space
Eiffel tower, Paris
Ashok Stambh, Sarnath
Penetrating forcibly upwards with its dynamism
COLUMN
In principle, a point
extruded upwards, the
column assumes verticality
and guides vision upwards
from the horizontal plane,
lending it an upward
thrust and imparting
dynamism to the space.
KETHEESWARAN M.ARCH

3. DIRECTIONALITY

a line, columns placed
linearly guide direction.

4. RHYTHM
Columns stipulating Rhythm through their placement
City Palace, Udaipur
COLUMN
Linear repetition of
columns with changing
distances give rise to a
rhythm, a sense of
continuity and consistency
determined by their
spacing and frequency of
occurrence.

In composite arrangement,
columns sub-divide the
main volumes and also
help in defining them.

3. COLUMN AS MOVEMENT GUIDE
Free-standing column
A series of columns when
placed along a line, creates
an imaginary plane binding
them, setting up strong
perspectives and
establishing direction,
inviting movement along
them.

Columns when exposed
as an elevational element,
compose and modulate
the façade due to their
rhythm, verticality as well
as sculptural quality.

The wall is a vertical plane, which defines an enclosure.
One of its primary purposes through time, even before the column,
is that of taking structural load of the roof

Wall as an element defining extent
The wall, as a vertical
plane, defines and
delineates extent of the
horizontal surface.With
opacity, it becomes a
termination of realms

Colosseum, Rome
2. ENCLOSINGVOLUME
Textile Mill Owners’Association,Ahmedabad
The inherent verticality of
the wall makes it
command volume and the
attribute of planarity helps
contain this in.
•Wall creates a sensual quality to the space within
•Wall creating a sense of inside/ outside

3. SUBDIVISION OF SPACE
Textile Mill Owners’Association,Ahmedabad
Based on different kinds of
activity patterns, uses and
requirements, large spaces
need to be subdivided into
smaller pockets,
performing specific roles.
Katsura palace, Kyoto

4. DISPLAY AND STORAGE ELEMENT
Wall as niche
Though walls convey the
idea of planes, their
construction technique
and material used requires
them to possess some
thickness.This depth
affords the provision of
small niches, alcoves and
shelves within the wall. Interior wall of Kutch house
WALL
Wall as display element
KETHEESWARAN M.ARCH

5. PROTECTIVE BARRIER
Fort wall of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
As planes possessing
height, walls entrap space
when they close in on
themselves.This,
combined with the
property of being a
physical barrier bestows
upon it the responsibility
of protection.
•Walls serving the purpose of defense
Anthill Mosque, Central Africa

6. MOVEMENT GUIDE
Hindusthan Lever Pavillion, New Delhi
Being a physical barrier,
walll does not allow
penetration through it.
Combined with its
planarity through
stretched planes, it guides
movement along its length.
•Wall modulated to form movement guide
Indian Institute of Management,Ahmedabad
•Massing of the wall defines the movement zone

Uniersity of Jodhpur, Rajasthan
The wall plane- as the
external envelope of

A door is essentially a puncture through a plane allowing
for a passage through it. Door acts as entry and exit.

STAIR
KETHEESWARAN M.ARCH

STAIR
The stairway is a construction designed to bridge a large vertical distance
by dividing it into smaller vertical distances, called steps. Stairs may be straight, round,
or may consist of two or more straight pieces connected at angles.

Asiatic Library, Mumbai
Step as an element to
negotiate tehh plinth
becomes the most
obvious feature of the
building.A series of steps
negotiates the plinth, a
pedestal upon which the
building rests, to reach up
to the building from the
base.
Rudabai stepwell,Adalaj

Theatre Aspendos,Turkey
2. STEP AS SEAT
Steps as seat
Stairs consist of
comfortable negotiable
small platforms for ascent.
These platforms if
modulated accordingly
also can double up as
seating since they recreate
the ambience of a theatre
at a smaller scale.

3. STEP ASTHRESHOLD
IIM,AhmedabadAs buildings are raised on
the plinth, steps form the
natural link to negotiate
these level differences.
Thus, steps become a
threshold in linking and
dissociating two realms.
Steps & Plinth, Jaisalmer

4. MOVEMENT GUIDE
Halisa Kuva, Gandhinagar
The stair assumes nodality
as the confluence of
horizontal and vertical
movements.This junctional
pause point attracts
movement towards it and
the space within which it
is located.

5. PHYSICAL LINK
Sangath,AhmedabadThe stair physically
connects two different
horizontal planes and in
the process, it also
disciplines and directs
movement.

5. SPACE MODULATOR
School of architecture,Ahmedabad
The diagonal stretch
across the volume and its
influence upon the
horizontal as well as
vertical perspectives can
be exploited for enhancing
or delineating subspaces.
Mahabat Maqbara, Junagadh

Vertical surfaces adjacent
to the floors are generally
useful for storage.The
vertical surface stretching
from floor to ceiling culd
be used as storage or
display based on its
position in the overall
configuration of space
below it.
7. DISPLAY AND STORAGE

IIS, Infosys, Noida

8. VENTILATION SHAFT

RamaYantra, Jantar Mantar, JaipurThe aspects of verticality,

3. ENCODER OF SYMBOLS
Bahai Temple, Delhi
Being detached from the
ground(living zone) and
