2.6 COMPOSITION AND FRAMING

When we talk about composition, we are talking about what our camera sees and by extension, of what our audience sees. Composition and Framing play a significant role in enhancement of visual perception of a building or any architecture. The various elements can be used to the framing and compositions in architecture can be practiced by using various design elements and principles that we discussed above like repetition, creating harmony and contrast etc.

―Composition‖ is basically the arrangement and rearrangement of design elements in a harmonic way and on the other” Framing‖ is termed to lead the visual aspect of human eye that see in a particular direction as whole. Both Composition and Framing complement each other.

Based on Fibonacci sequence the golden ratio describes the relationship between two proportions. Fibonacci number follows 1:168 which we prefer as golden ration. The above figure 27 depicts if the golden ratio rules are considered while framing the elements the architectural visuals appears to be more aesthetic and eye pleasing.
