Thomas Munro classifies design according to our senses : visual, static, surface design, visual, static, solid design, visual,mobile,temporally developed design auditory design; audiovisual design and types of design based on suggestive thematic development. And also each of theses types of designs is further divided into other subdivisions.

  •Visual, static, surface design is a two dimensional design sometimes  slightly curved or even polyhedral surface. The basic elements of this design are colour, line, and texture.This design has three subcategories.                                                                                                  -Strip design is mostly extended lengthwise and  consists in long and narrow ribbons , borders, and architectural mouldings in low relief.This type of design can give the illusion of a 3D design.                                                                                                                                                          -Bounded-area design is a design limited within a 2D given area.It can be asymmetrical, irregular, and free-flowing suggesting moods attitudes.Also, this type of design can be flat or slightly three dimensional.                                                                                                        Allover design is unbounded in two dimensions with a tendency  to indefinite repetition or prolongation in all four directions. In this type of designs units are not arranged along a single main axis but they flow all over the background. Also this type of design has no beginning and no end.
•Visual, static, solid design is three dimensional; it may have thickness, depth, length,  breadth, and consists in different solid parts.                                                                                                                     -Exterior design, as in architecture when viewed from the outside, as in sculpture, etc. The object may present different designs as seen from different points of view.                     -Interior design, surrounding or partly surrounding the observer ,which can be buildings, rooms, gardens,,etc.                                                                                                                                             -A combination of the two, that means the connection between exterior and interior design. Parts of the object (ex rose windows) that contribute and have an important role for both this types  designs.                                                                                                                                           - Intermediate between surface and solid design which is sculptural relief  depending on the amount of three dimensional development.
•Visual,mobile ,temporally design and it has two categories.                                                                                                                                                 -Mobile surface design is a thematic which develops in time as well as it changes may be in motion in a determinate sequence.It includes motion pictures, shadow plays, lumia or mobile colour, all presented as flat images on a flat or curving surface.                                                       -Mobile solid design presents solid figures in more or less determinate motion.
•Thomas does not restrain the categorization of design only depending on the visual senses but also in the hearing senses,therefore, he adds auditory design. It may or may not be combined with mobile visual design, as in ballet. He continues and brakes this category in three  other subdivisions  musical design, word-sound design, and verbal-musical design.            
○ Musical design is based on thematic development of rhythm, pitch timbre, consonance, dissonance and of developed components components such as melody,tempo, meter, dynamics ,etc.                                                                                                                                   ○Word-sound design is presented aurally when literature is spoken , and thus resembles music to some extent.                                                                                                                                             ○Verbal-musical design is a combination of musical and word-sound design as in songs,oratorios, and operas.
• Audiovisual design which has also two subdivisions.

-Audiovisual surface design  which is the combination of mobile visual patterns with music, word-sound or both.                                                                                                                         -Audiovisual solid design is produced by combining mobile solid patterns with auditory ones, as in dance and ballet with music.
And last, the suggestive thematic development design, the list  here distinguishes types of design mainly in a basis of presentative development , according to the sense primarily addressed and the way in which  the presented factor is developed in time, space or both.

Men were always looking for a place to live in, so first they found the ground where they should live. There are six main characteristics needed to be remembered by us, architects: The region,the seat,the compartition,the walling,the covering,the apertures These form a hierarchical order. Once you have found the region (the open space), you can determine the seat (the place where your house will be located). The compartition is dividing the whole platform into smaller platforms. The walling means that the house now take the form of a 3d composition as well as it helps into maintaining the system of the roof. The covering helps the building from external forces, just like the skin to our body. Lastly, the apertures are the outlets which are necessary for a house. But, we shouldn’t forget the principles of a good building: firmness, durability, stability, gracefulness and aesthetic aspect. Referring to the past,  as the climate has changed, the region also has some differen...

Everytime an architect starts to design a building and to bring it into life, there are some steps which are essential and need to be known: It starts with locational analysis (responsibility of town planners and geographers),  environmental control (specialist of building design), Judgment over matters of cost (quantity surveyor), interior design (skills of an artist).  One word is used for very different concepts such as functional architecture, data architecture, solution architecture or enterprise architecture. In addition, boundaries between architecture and design are unclear. Some say they are similar concepts. Others argue that they are complementary concepts with different levels of abstraction. To do so here are some ways generating 3 dimensional form: 1-Pragmatic 2-Iconic 3-Analogic 4-Canonic -Pragmatic design  Design is about making stuff, we make stuff to test our hypotheses. The word pragmatic itself says: dealing with things sensibly and realisti...

"I'm not sick ,I'm broken. But I'm happy to be alive as long as I can paint"-Frida Kahlo said. I have been painting since I was 7 years old. I didn't take it  seriously at first but after the first year I started loving painting. "I started putting my heart and my soul into my work and lost my mind in the process " Just like Van Gogh would've said. After 5 years I won my first competition . It wasn't a great price but it made me feel like a real painter and this price motivated me to keep on painting and perfect my painting techniques. In 2011 I won the first prize in a worldwide competition.  This competition was organised by UNESCO and in 2016 , I entered the professional painters exhibition. By doing so , I was officially a professional.   I really wanted to study art,  but I also wanted to graduate architecture. When I paint I feel free , the purpose of art is to wash away the dust from our daily life and our souls . When I paint I don...
