Chrysler building

designed by 1930 by William Van Alen.

Hotel Astor

What are the Principles and Elements

of Design Used in His Work

The reason I chose pattern is because

pattern is constantly used in his buildings. if you look at the Chrysler

Building and the Hotel Astor you can

see he constantly repeats the design on every level.

The reason I chose unity is because all

of his works are harmonious and work together.

The reason I chose balance is because

his works are all symmetrical and you can split every one of his works in half.

The reason I choose line is because

there is Line in all of William Van

Alen'swork. If you look at the Chrysler

building and the Hotel Astor you can see Lines shooting up to the top of the building.

How Does William Van Alenuse shape

and Dimension to make His buildings aesthetically pleasing Shape

He uses shape to design

fancy exterior decoration

He uses equilateral triangles,

and crescent's (shapes) to make a decorative design on the top of the Chrysler

Building.

Dimension

He uses Dimension to make

the exterior shapes come to live

He uses Dimension to make

his fancy design of the then

Chrysler symbol.

How Mathematical Concepts are

Incorporated Into His designs

Symmetry (symmetrical) is incorporated through how that you can take any one of his building split them in halfand both sides would lookexactly alike.

Lines are incorporated in his work by the lines he uses for theedges and the lineson the buildings that shoot up to the top

Geometric shapes are incorporated in his designs one of them are the rectangular prism for the Chrysler Building it is built on layers of rectangularprism and further more on the top of the Chrysler Building he uses triangles and crescents.

Patterns are incorporated through how that each floor is continuingthe pattern from the floor below like in the Hotel Astor it is a pattern that I find quite Intriguing.
