Exploring the foundational elements of architecture and design, this content delves into the significance of points, lines, and planes in creating visual aesthetics. It highlights the importance of geometric elements, such as points and lines, in shaping designs and showcases renowned architectural landmarks like the Space Needle. Understanding the role of these elements is crucial in manipulating planes and creating impactful visual impact in architectural compositions.

the foundation in every architecture design smallest part and the most basic element a geometric element in space with zero dimensions owns its basics in width and length, and the smallest area.
A point can make people look and concentrate at as it directs attentions. One point a center or a mole or a concentration of forms or objects near or close together. Two points make a connection and see a line. Three points to interpret them as a triangle
A number of points can create different elements that are important to showcase a design Any object, of course, is made up of millions of points. Therefore, a point is unavoidable in architecture design.
