Abstract [English]

The research aims at understanding the language of a building, the overall expression it creates by its basic elements like line, plane and form. On altering these elements the principles of designing like form, symmetry, balance, proportion etc gets altered resulting in the change in the expression of a building. The study comprises of the characteristics and emotional effect created by different basic geometrical forms and how these forms change the aesthetics of the building. It also aims at understanding the language through self-analysis of few buildings. Architecture is supposed to be something ‘creative’, and creativity is not subjected to analysis but creativity is itself founded on the knowledge of obvious and typical. Therefore, to create creative there should be the knowledge of typical.
