  2. Design principles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_principles

    Asymmetrical balance produces an informal balance that is attention attracting and dynamic. Radial balance is arranged around a central element. The elements placed in a radial balance seem to 'radiate' out from a central point in a circular fashion. Overall is a mosaic form of balance which normally arises from too many elements being put on a ...

  3. Form (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_(architecture)

    Historically, multiple approaches were suggested to address the reflection of the structure in the appearance of the architectural form. In the 19th-century Germany, Karl Friedrich Schinkel suggested that the structural elements shall remain visible in the forms to create a satisfying feeling of strength and security, [3] while Karl Bötticher as part of his "tectonics" suggested splitting the ...

  4. Proportion (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportion_(architecture)

    In classical architecture, proportions were set by the radii of columns. Proportion is a central principle of architectural theory and an important connection between mathematics and art . It is the visual effect of the relationship of the various objects and spaces that make up a structure to one another and to the whole.

  5. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    Works by Vitruvius and other engineers and architects such as Vitruvius used drawings as a medium for the transmission of construction techniques, and the illustration of the basic principles of balance and proportion in architecture. Early examples of what would lead to more formal technical drawing practices included the drawings and ...

  6. Cathedral floorplan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_floorplan

    Amiens Cathedral floorplan: massive piers support the west end towers; transepts are abbreviated; seven radiating chapels form the chevet reached from the ambulatory. In Western ecclesiastical architecture, a cathedral diagram is a floor plan showing the sections of walls and piers, giving an idea of the profiles of their columns and ribbing.

  7. Lagrange point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_point

    The radial acceleration a of an object in orbit at a point along the line passing through both bodies is given by: = ⁡ + ⁡ + ((+)) where r is the distance from the large body M 1, R is the distance between the two main objects, and sgn(x) is the sign function of x.

  8. Radial basis function network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_basis_function_network

    Radial basis function (RBF) networks typically have three layers: an input layer, a hidden layer with a non-linear RBF activation function and a linear output layer. The input can be modeled as a vector of real numbers x ∈ R n {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} \in \mathbb {R} ^{n}} .

  9. Radar chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart

    The radar chart is a chart and/or plot that consists of a sequence of equi-angular spokes, called radii, with each spoke representing one of the variables. The data length of a spoke is proportional to the magnitude of the variable for the data point relative to the maximum magnitude of the variable across all data points.
