2The 1st BuildingThe Taipei Tower
?????? ???????? ??????
3The Taipei tower is a good example of repetition
and the uses of repetition.
??? ?????? ???? ??? ??? ????? ??????? ?????????
?? ????? ???????
4Lets consider the tower as a collection of unit
forms. These unit forms have the following shape.
?????? ?? ?????? ???? ?? ????? ????? ??? ?????
??????
5When the unit forms are stacked on top of each
other, they will form the main shape of the
tower.
??? ????? ????? ??????? ????? ????? ?????? ??
???? ??? ?????? ????? ??? ??? ????? ???? ?????
6The peak of the tower consists of 3 basic groups
of serial planes
??? ????? ????? ?? ????? ??????? ?????? ??
??????? ?????????
The 1st one is a simple prism with a series of
similar disks arranged horizontally with an equal
space between each disks.
????? ????? ????? ?? ????? ???? ?? ????? ????? ??
??????? ??????? ?????? ?? ?????? ??????? ????
?????
7The 2nd group consists of a series of unequally
sized disks with a gradation in size in the top
a serial of square equal planes in the bottom
???????? ??????? ????? ?? ????? ?? ??????? ?????
??????? ?? ????? ????????? ??? ?? ?????? ??????
?? ???????? ????????? ?? ????? ?? ??????
8The 3rd group is a serial rectangular planes with
a gradation in size from bottom to top.
???????? ??????? ????? ?? ????? ?? ??????????
???????? ?? ????? ?? ?????? ??? ??????
9The 2nd BuildingFountain Place
?????? ???????????? ?????
10The unique thing about this building is its
simplicity, which gives it a different and
charming look.
??? ?????? ?? ???? ??????? ?? ??? ??????? ??? ??
????? ??? ???? ?????? ?? ???? ?? ???????
11If we look at the building, We can recognize
instantly that it consists of two huge prisms
??? ????? ??? ?????? ?????? ???????? ?? ???
?????? ???? ?? ??????? ???????
12The 1st prism has two ends. The top one is
triangular and the other end is rectangular. The
two ends are not parallel to one another
??????? ????? ????? ??? ??????? ?????? ?? ??????
????? ?? ???? ???????? ?? ????? ????? ?? ??????
??????? ??? ?????? ?????
13The 2nd prism in itself consists of two similar
prisms, these prisms has two ends both of them
are a rectangle but they are nonparallel
??????? ?????? ?????? ????? ??? ???? ?? ????????
???????? ????? ????????? ?????? ?? ??????? ??????
?????? ???? ??? ???????? ?? ?????? ?????
14The building doesnt have any farther treatment
on any of its sides.
?? ???? ?? ?????? ??? ???? ?? ?????? ??????
15??? ??????? ?????? ?? ??? ??????? ??? ???? ??
????? ??? ?? ?????? ??? ????
This same property can be seen in the kingdom
tower because it also doesnt have any treatment
in its sides
16The 3rd BuildingBank Of China
?????? ????????? ?????
17The building consists from a group of a pyramids
and triangular planes that are in contact with
each other at the faces
?????? ????? ?? ?????? ?? ????????? ?? ??????
??????? ???????? ?? ????? ????? ???????
18The pyramids together making a prisms and in the
building we have 5 main prisms
????????? ?? ????? ????? ???? ????? ??? ??????
????? ???? ?????? ??????
19All the prisms in the building have the same
shape like this shape
???? ???????? ?? ?????? ????? ??? ????? ??? ??
???? ?? ????? ??????
20If we take a look to the prism we recognize that
it has two ends. The top one is triangular and
the other end is rectangular. The two ends are
not parallel to one another
??? ?????? ???? ??? ??????? ??? ??? ???? ??
??????? ??????? ?????? ?? ?????? ????? ?? ????
???????? ?????? ?? ?????? ????? ?? ?????? ???????
??? ????? ?????.
21The prisms hasnt the same height there is a
variation in the height of the prisms
???????? ??? ??? ??? ???????? ?? ???? ???? ??
???????? ????????
22The pyramids in the building havent a treatment
in the face but there is a treatment for the
edges by coloring them in a different color
????????? ?? ?????? ?? ????? ?????? ??? ?? ??????
???? ?????? ????? ??? ?????? ?? ???? ??????? ????
????? ?? ????? ??????.
23The 4th BuildingThe Colosseum
?????? ????????????????
24The colosseum consists of three main layers
?????????? ????? ?? ????? ????? ??????
25The unit form
Each layer consists of a group of arches, which
are the main unit forms.
?? ???? ????? ?? ?????? ?? ????? ???????
????????? ??? ????? ?? ?????
26the colosseum has repetitive vertical arches
that are placed around a common vertical axis,
and the result is a cylindrical shape with a
diameter greater than the height
????????? ????? ?? ?????? ?? ??????? ????????
???????? ??????? ??? ???? ???? ???????? ????? ??
??????? ????? ?? ????? ????? ?? ?????
27If we take a look at the colosseum in these days
not in the past we can see that it decreases
gradually in height from the bottom to top in the
end of the upper layers
??? ?????? ???? ??? ?????????? ?? ?????? ???????
????? ??????? ???? ?? ??? ?? ?????? ???????
??????? ?? ????? ?? ?????? ??? ??????
28This is a model of the Colosseum. this is an
example of the repetition because all the unit
forms are similar in the size, texture, color and
shape
????? ??????????? ??? ?????? ???? ??? ???????
????? ????? ??????? ?? ??????? ??????? ?? ?????
?????? ??????? ??????
29The 5th BuildingThe PETRONAS Towers In Malaysia
?????? ??????????? ???????? ?? ???????
30If we look at the building we can see it consists
of two towers with bridge linking them at midriff
??? ????? ??? ?????? ?????? ?????? ??? ??????
????? ?? ????? ?? ??? ???? ???? ?????? ??? ?????
????????.
31If we want to analysis this building we need to
consider each tower separately, and then apply
what have learned to explain the architectural
ideas behind it.
??? ????? ????? ?????? ????? ?? ???? ??? ???????
?????? ??????? ????????? ???????? ??? ????? ????
?????? ?? ????? ???????
32We can see that each tower is constructed from
horizontal serial planes, which are repeated in
shape, texture and color, but not in size
???? ?? ????? ?? ?? ??? ????? ?? ????? ?? ??????
??????? ?????? ????? ?????? ?? ????? ???????
?????? ???? ???? ??????? ?? ?????
33But if we look at the plane from this point
We can see the planes here have a different shape
and gradation in the size
??? ????? ??? ?????? ??? ?????? ?????? ????? ???
?? ?????? ???? ???? ??? ????? ?? ??????? ??????
?? ?????
34There is a gradation in the size of this serial
of planes the planes become smaller as we go up
???? ???? ?? ????? ?????? ?????? ???? ???? ???
?????? ???? ?????? ??? ??????
35This property is contrast with the building of
ministry of interior. In this case, the planes
are increasing in size as we go up.
??? ??????? ?????? ?? ???? ????? ???????? ????
??? ???? ?????? ?? ??????? ????? ?? ?????? ???
?????? ?? ?????
36The serial planes are all parallel to one another
with equal space between them
??????? ??? ????? ?????? ??????? ?? ????? ?????
???????? ??? ????? ??????? ??? ?? ????? ??????
37If we look at the bridge between the two towers
we can recognize it is a simple prism constructed
horizontally
??? ????? ??? ????? ?????? ???? ????? ??????
?????? ??? ????? ?? ????? ?????? ???? ????? ?????
?????
38The 6th BuildingThe Golden Gate Bridge
?????? ????????? ??????? ???????
39The most interesting feature in this bridge is
the cables that link the columns together and how
they are designed
??? ?? ?? ????? ?? ???????? ???????? ?? ???????
?????? ???????
40If we want to know how the cables are
interlinking, we need to view this area
??? ????? ????? ????? ??? ???????? ?? ?????
??????? ????? ?????? ??????? ??????? ??? ????
???? ????
As a triangular
411st this is the triangular
???? ??? ?? ??????
y
x
2nd we can divide the lines x and y into equal
spaces
3rd we interlinking between the points as follows
????? ???? ??? ?????? ???? ???????
?????? ???? ??????? ??? ???? ??? ????? ???????
42The column in the bridge its a linear frame work
consists of a triangulars over each other
??????? ???????? ?? ????? ????? ?? ????? ??? ????
?? ???????? ?????? ??? ?????
43The 7th BuildingThe TV Tower In Shanghai
?????? ????????? ????????? ?? ??????
44This tower consists of cylinders and spheres
????? ????? ?? ?????? ?? ?????????? ??????
45The base is constructed of 4 tilted cylinders.
Each cylinder farther treated by adding a sphere
in its middle. Other smaller cylinders link the
main cylinders together.
??????? ????? ?? ?????? ?? ???? ????????
???????? ?????? ????? ????? ?????? ??????? ?????
?????????? ?? ???? ????? ??? ?? ????? ?? ???????
????? ???????? ???? ?? ????? ???? ??? ??????????
?????? ????????
46Looking at the upper part of the tower, we can
see that the 3 spheres gradate in size as we move
upwards.
??? ????? ??? ????? ??????? ?? ????? ?????? ??
????? ?? ???? ???? ?? ????? ?? ?????? ??? ??????
47the main part of the tower consists of prisms,
two main ones and six simpler ones connecting them
????? ??????? ?? ????? ????? ?? ????????? ????
????? ??? ?????? ?????
48The spheres--specially the large one--have a
great variation in colors, including orange, red,
pink, and yellow.
????? ????? ??????? ???? ????? ??? ???? ???? ??
??????? ?? ??????? ????? ????? ?????
49If we compare between the TV tower in Saudi
Arabia and the TV tower in Shanghai we will notes
the following
??? ???? ??????? ??? ??? ????????? ?? ????????
???? ????????? ?? ?????? ????? ??? ??????
50The body of the Saudi tower is made of a
polygonal prism, but the body of the Shanghai
tower is made of two cylinders
?? ??? ???????? ????? ????? ?? ????? ?????
??????? ??? ?? ??? ?????? ??? ????? ?? ?????????
The body has 3 spheres in the Shanghai tower, but
in the Saudi tower it has a great dodecahedron
and a flat octagonal plane
??? ??? ?????? ???? ????? ??? ???? ??? ????????
????? ??? ??????? ????? ???????????? ???? ??
????? ???? ?????
51The 8th BuildingNotredame Cathedral
?????? ??????????????? ???????
52This cathedral consists of a group of prisms. all
the prisms arranged one directly above another or
beside the next making a very strong construction
??????????? ????? ?? ?????? ?? ???????? ????
????? ??????? ??? ?????? ?? ????? ?????? ?????
???? ??? ?? ???????
53The main shape of the prism that is used in the
cathedral is as follows
????? ??????? ??????? ???????? ?? ??????????? ???
??? ?????
54The prism has a different treatment in each layer
??????? ??????? ????? ??? ??????? ?????? ?? ??
????
The main prism and the main arches
In the 1st layer the prisms are treated in the
faces by the arches which gradate in size
?? ?????? ?????? ??????? ????? ??? ?????? ??
????? ?????? ??????? ???????? ?? ?????
55In the 2nd layer the prism has a treatment in the
face too by adding a group of arches above it and
a disk between the two main arch
?? ?????? ??????? ??? ?? ???? ?????? ?????? ????
?????? ?? ????? ?? ??????? ??? ????? ?????? ?????
?? ??????? ??? ??????? ?? ????? ????? ??? ???????
?????????
56In the 3rd layer the prism has a treatment in the
face too by stretching the two arches.
?? ?????? ??????? ???? ????? ?????? ??? ???????
?????????
57We cannot ignore the disk in the center of the
building because it is different from the other
faces in the building façade, the treatment of
the face here is very delicate.
????? ?? ?? ?????? ??????? ?? ????? ?????? ???
????? ?? ???? ?????? ?? ?????? ???? ????? ???????
????? ??? ?????
58The 9th BuildingThe Sydney Stadium
?????? ??????????? ????
59The important thing we need to study in the
stadium is the outer wall of the stadium
???? ?? ?????? ?????? ?? ??????? ?????? ??????? ??
60We note that the outer wall is a linear framework
because it consists of lines only and no faces.
???? ?????? ?? ?????? ??????? ????? ?? ????? ???
????? ???? ?? ????? ??? ???? ?? ???? ????
61The linear frame in the top is a pyramid with a
base and 6 faces. Of course the faces do not
exist in the frame work
??????? ????? ?? ?????? ????? ?? ??? ?? ??? ????
?????? ??????? ?????? ??? ?????? ?? ?????????
??????
62The linear frames in the bottom is a double
tetrahedron which consist of 6 triangular faces
with 6 edges
??????? ????? ?? ?????? ????? ?? ?????????? ?????
??????? ?? 6 ???? ?6 ????
63All the linear frames are in contact with each
other at the edges.
???? ????????? ?????? ?????? ?? ????? ?????
???????
64The 10th BuildingBank Of America
?????? ????????? ??????
65Bank of America is another example for the layers
and how we used it in the building
??? ?????? ?? ???? ??? ??? ????? ????????? ??
??????? ?????????? ?? ????? ???????
66We have here three main serial planes each group
above the other
????? ????? ??????? ?? ??????? ?? ?????? ???
??????
67The serial planes is a repetition for this layer
????? ??????? ????? ?? ????? ???? ??????
When we arrange these plane in the vertical axis
we will have the main serial plane
??? ????? ??? ??????? ?????? ????? ??? ??????
??????? ????? ??? ????? ??????? ?????? ???????
??????? ??????
68There is a gradation between the three main
serial planes when we go up the height of the
serial increase and the width decrease.
