    Planes in architecture define three-dimensional volumes and spaces. There are three main types of planes: the ground plane, which supports the building; floor planes, which define spatial boundaries; and exterior wall planes, which enclose interior spaces while shaping exterior form and massing. Planes determine the visual attributes and qualities of spaces through their size, shape, texture, and spatial relationships. Architects can manipulate planes to influence building form, climate response, and spatial experience.

    Design with Planar Surface

    • A visual construction- a plane serves to


    define the limits or boundaries of a volume.

    • In architecture the plane should be


    regarded as a key element in the vocabulary
    of architectural design.
    • Planes in architecture define three dimensional volumes
    of mass and space.

    • The properties of each plane:


    1. Size, shape, colour, texture
    2. Spatial relationship to one another

    • Determine the visual attributes of the form they define


    and the qualities of the space they enclose.
    Manipulate three generic types of planes:
    • Ground plane:
    Supports all architectural construction.

    • Influence the form of buildings that rises


    from it
    1.Climate
    2.Environmental conditions of a site
    3.Topographical character of the ground
    plane

    • Building can merge with the ground plane,


    rest firmly on it, or be elevated above it.
    Floor plane:

    • While the pragmatic, supportive nature of


    the floor plane limits the extent to which it
    can be manipulated.

    • Its shape, colour, and pattern determine to


    what degree it defines spatial boundaries or
    serves as a unifying element for the
    different parts of a space.
    Exterior wall planes:
    • Isolate a portion of space to create a
    controlled interior environment.

    • Their construction provides both privacy


    and protection from the climatic elements
    for the interior spaces of a building.

    • Openings within or between their


    boundaries re-establish a connection with
    the exterior environment.

    • As exterior walls mold interior space they


    simultaneously shape exterior space and
    describe the form, massing, and image of
    a building in space.

    Interior wall plane:

    • Merge with the floor or ceiling plane, or be articulated as an


    element isolated from adjacent planes.

    • It can be treated as a passive or receding backdrop for other


    elements in the space,

    • It can assert itself as a visually active element within a room


    by virtue of its form, colour, texture, or material.
    The ceiling plane:
    • Is usually out of our reach and is almost
    always a purely visual event in a space.
    • Essential sheltering element that protects
    • It can be raised or lowered
    1. To alter the scale of a space
    2. To define spatial zones within a room.
    • Form can be manipulated
    1. To control the quality of light or sound
    Plane as a supporting element:

    • The vertical wall plane is as a


    supporting element in the earing-
    wall structural system
    • Bearing walls define linear slots of
    space with strong directional
    qualities.
