Architecture

This image has a strong use of the element line.  The lines are actively being used as structural support.  The lines in the photo are used in a virtical fashion in the background and carry your eyes up the tall buildings.  The lines also carry your eyes horizontally in the forground when looking at the train and the tracks holding the train.  Some of the lines in the photo are tilted from the viewpoint and gives the photo a 3D perspective.

In this photo the dominant element being used is shape.  In the early stages of engineering and architecture shapes are used to guide the designer by breaking down the structure into parts.  In this photo shapes are used to make it easier to see how the city can be broken down.  The shapes in this city vary from rectangles, triangles, and cylandars.  Therefore, the shapes in this picture not only have the job of breaking down the cities structure but also to diversify the buildings allowing them to be dynamic.

The element in this photo is motion.  This is known as a concept art.  This is a concept for a building in motion.  Motion is used in this picture to show how the building would look if it shifts and rotates.  The concept of this building is that each floor can shift its position.  This motion allows the building to be exciting and dynamic.  Motion forces the eyes to follow the building to the top.  Motion also brings attention to the building, because it would be the only thing different in a city of still buildings.
