Design Principle’s – Curvilinear Design

posted; 08/11/06

This is a quick explanation of Curvilinear Design, this page has been used as a handout in some of my design courses and has also been thrown up on a screen to help me make a point during a discussion of the design process.

Curvilinear is one half of the design story. Formal, or some may say straight line, right angles, or Geometric. In another way of looking at this you could go Geometric vs. Curvilinear, or Formal vs. Informal. And this discussion could go on for hours.

    Wait, so the beautiful curving design that most people desire this architect is saying is too much trouble? Sounds like laziness to me. I want things that look like that, not excuses.
