Design Vocabulary

1. Anomaly: This is different from what is usual or expected. We can use this word when we find something not belonging to a painting. For instance, if we find a line in the pointillism painting which usually consists of only dots, it could be an anomaly. Anomaly can be used as painter’s distinguishing mark.

2. Optical mixture: Unlike mixing color in a palette, optical mixture is the phenomenon which occurs when small particles of different colors are mixed in the eye. For example, the pointillism painters use this phenomenon, making mixed different colors look like one color.

3. Organic architecture: Organic architecture is integration of architecture with its natural surroundings. Also, every part of the building has connected to each other like a living organism. Many of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectures appear as if they have evolved from their environment. Wright often designed the interior and even furniture to create buildings that were integrated with nature not only outside but also inside.

“No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other.” –Frank Lloyd Wright
