Wojciech Odrobina - characteristics of horizontal elements in architecture

The architect Wojciech Odrobina, recognized for his specializations in architectural design, design and urban planning, this time he shares a bit about some characteristics of the horizontal elements in architecture

* May consist of a base plane, elevated or not, that contrasts with the surrounding surface

* Some vertical elements can be used to reinforce them; * It is possible that you have a certain depression (sinking).

On the other hand, vertical elements are distinguished because:

* May or may not consist of absolutely opaque surfaces, which does not always affect visibility

* The use of a vertical plane articulates the space in front of which it is located

* When a “L” configuration is used (two vertical planes joined by a vertex and forming a 90 degree angle) a spatial field is created

* Parallel planes generate an oriented spatial volume;
