Shapes: 2 Dimensions Figures Rectangle, Square, Triangle, Circle, Arch 3 Dimensions Figures Cube, Pyramid, Sphere, Cylinder Use of Shapes Examples of Shapes

Shape: Shape refers to the configuration of surfaces and edges of a two- or three-dimensional object. We perceive shape by contour or silhouette. Will classify shapes into two groups: the figures that have 2 dimensions: width and length and the figures of three dimensions: width, length and depth

Rectangle: A rectangle is a parallelogram whose four sides at right angles to each other. Square: A square is a parallelogram with four equal sides and four angles are also equal and straight. Triangle: A triangle is a polygon defined by three intersecting lines. The points of intersection of the lines are the vertex and line segments are the sides of the triangle.

Circle: A circle is the geometric curve flat, closed, whose points are equidistant from the center. Arch: Is a design element in a curved or polygonal, that covers the open space between two walls. Placing all the burden on the bow at the supports

Cube: A cube is a solid object in the form of box having six identical square faces. Pyramid: A pyramid is a polyhedron whose base is any polygon and whose lateral faces are triangles with a common vertex called "the vertex of the pyramid."

Sphere: A sphere is a solid figure bounded by a closed curved surface whose points are equidistant from the center of the sphere. Cylinder: A cylinder surface is formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line, the cylinder axis.

In Architecture and Urban Planning shapes are essential because are the beginning of any design and affect the structure and the spaces of a project.

Rectangle - Triangle

Semi sphere – Arches - Pyramid
