Document Summary
Theories of design composition: design composition is traditionally taught as a theoretical base for constructing, viewing, and judging the interrelationships of objects, space, and materials. Design approaches: all professional fields of design, such as architecture and industrial, graphic, fashion, and interior design, utilize theories of design composition. Particular design theories can be fairly simple, yet complex at the same time. Structural design is the underlying framework, or structural component, and is usually expressed in the final visual form. The design is not an embellishment added to the form, but rather an integral part. Structural design in furniture can be seen in modern designs that use tubular steel, such as marcel breuer"s chair of 1925. Example: patterns on wallpaper not intrinsic to material composition. Periods such as victorian era used a lot of ornamentation. Automobile design history shows decorative design applied to structural design - early cars simple, functional, yet streamlining, fins , chrome added.
