Abstract
Geometry is presented as one of the concepts which has been employed as a design tool for creating architectural ideas in the design process throughout architectural history, as well as providing order and creating form intentionly. The importance of geometry has emerged, because it is considered the single most common determinant or characteristic in buildings. The paper discusses the importance of this concept and its employment as a formative idea during architectural history.
Thus the objectives of the paper and its problem have been formed by building theoretical framework consisting of one main item of detailed theoretical field as the following: (procedures of creating architectural ideas by employing geometry which is, in term connected by two primary generators; geometric planes and solids with geometric fields or grids), which specifies procedures of employing geometry in creating architectural ideas in different architectural trends, firstly, then the application of this item on the products of three architects: Meier , Eisenman and Graves from the twenties Revivalism trend of the 20th century, secondly, Finally, concluding procedures and paradigms, which had been employed by architects of this trend in creating ideas, thirdly.
Conclusions have been declared, concentration on the concept known as dynamic geometry which is based on a geometric order depending on the combination of both planes and solids with geometric fields, and the employment of both regular and unique free forms, throughout design systemization in making architecture, based on the dynamism of traditional geometric order, depending on selected design relations of formal elisions in the form of dynamic modifications and of grid compositions. Thus, dynamism or movement can be added as a primary principle to the different architecture design principles.
