Richard Meier

I researched the architect Richard Meier and designed this poster to represent him. He is from the United States and received his architectural education from Cornell University. He has designed famous buildings in the United States as well as in Europe. I chose to discuss the Jubilee Church in Rome, Italy, the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California, and the Westchester House in New York as my main focuses on his work and ethic. He has his own practice and is interested in designing his buildings with the color white. He is an architect who loves architecture and creates beautiful buildings that shine from wherever they are.

Principles of Design

The principles of design  are the verbs of the design language. The principles tell people how to compose the parts of design. The "parts" of design are the elements. The image above shows a poster which explains the various types of principles. The images used are from the Renaissance time period.

Elements of Design

The elements of design are "the parts that make up the whole". The elements are the nouns of the design language. Above is a poster using examples from the Renaissance time period to help explain what each element of design means and how it is used in nature and society. A lot of the references are architectural as well as residing in art during the time.
