1. Architectural principal can be said in just one sentence: Functional beauty! That means architecture reaches to summit when you design a functional and beautiful building .... impressive architectures who combine those without affecting one of them dramitecaly ! there are many architectural directions that depends on the idology and concept like the high-tech direction which means using the modern materials and utilize the new building technology in designing and forget old building concepts like egyptian , gothic , romanic .... if you are asking about the meaning of a balanced or rythmic masses here is the def. may you need. Symmetrical building: means you create a design that you want to balance it's shape and circulation by mirrorizing the designed half .... this way is one of the common way of designig and may be the easiest to keep the building balanced in shape and function and it really helps in most situations. Balanced building: recently most of architectures get bored of the symmetrical designing and tried to get rid of it by making an unsymmetrical buildings by adding contrasting masses or reapeating shape but in a randomized manner (like cyberspace) to make you understand more these concepts here is some of my works that may declare what I mean: First Repitition: (not mine) http://www.m5zn.com/uploads/35c25de0e8.jpg My design and modeling: Symmetrical ( Post Modern): Balanced (Late modern): http://www.m5zn.com/uploads/a432d030a3.jpg Semi-Repitition (Late modern): Normal(symmetric): Modern Style (symmetric): Modern Semi-Symmetric with repitition:
