WK10- Architecture (Basic Elements)

The Dot:
Although it's easy to see all the lines in this drawing, it is important to remember they must intersect at various ideal points, which are the dots. The dots form the outline of this house blueprint so the architects know where to have their materials meet when building. All the corners are points in the structure. 
The Line: 
Lines are seen here and are essential to keeping this building up. Without these sturdy lines being made we would have a falling over house. Having various lines help with the support of the house and structure. 
The Shape:
For this image you see many rectangles and cornered shapes. This is because rectangles give a sense of stability, which is important for creating things like houses. These shapes are used to hold up the house and be the stable structure of the home.
