Base Plane in Architecture

There are four types of horizontal planes: base plane, elevated base plane, depressed base plane, and overhead plane. A base plane is a horizontal plane laying flat on the ground that defines a simple field of space through surface perception contrasts. An elevated base plane is raised above the ground, creating vertical surfaces along its edges that reinforce its visual separation from the surrounding ground. A depressed base plane is lowered into the ground, utilizing its vertical surfaces to define an isolated spatial zone distinctly different from its larger context.

Base plane

plane
 2d line extended becomes a plane with properties
of length,width,shape,surface,orientation,position.
 There are 2 types of plane
1. Horizental plane
2. Vertical plane
 There are 4 types of horizontal plane
1. Base plane
2. Elevated base plane
3. Deprased base plane
4. Overhead plane
Base Plane
A horizontal plane laying as a figure on a contrasting background defines a
simple field of space.
Surface
Perception
contrast of –

 Texture
 Color
 Tone
• a continuous flow of space
• Easily Move without any interrupted
• Articulation of free space
Surface Distinction
• strong the edge definition of a horizontal plane
Elevated Base Plane
A horizontal plane elevated above the ground plane establishes vertical surfaces
along its edges that reinforce the visual separation between its field and the
surrounding ground.
• A larger spatial context
• Creates a specific domain within a level
• Elevated plane define the boundaries of its field
Degree of Spatial and Visual
continuity
• Spatial (Space Related)
• Visual ( Vision Related)

 Visual and Spatial Continuity are maintained


 Physical Access is easily accommodated
Visual Continuity is maintained
Spatial Continuity is interrupted
Using ramp or stairs for physical
access
Both Visual and Spatial continuity is
interrupted
Transformed into a sheltering element
Elevated plane is isolated from the floor
plane
Type of
Experience
• Extrovert expression
Depressed Base Plane
A horizontal plane depressed into the ground plane utilizes the vertical surfaces
of the lowered area to define a volume of space.
 Depth from the certain ground level
 The lowered portion of the base plane creates an isolated area
 Spatial zone is distinctly different from its surrounding context
 Vertical elements formed by the depression creates visible
boundaries
A contrast in form, geometry, or
orientation can also visually reinforce the
identity and independence of the sunken
field from its larger spatial context.
 Degree of Spatial and Visual continuity
• Spatial (Space Related)
• Visual ( Vision Related)

 Visual and Spatial Continuity are maintained


 Physical Access is easily accommodated
 Visual Continuity is maintained
 Spatial Continuity is interrupted
 Using ramp or stairs for physical access
 Both Visual and Spatial continuity is interrupted
 Transformed into a sheltering element
 Elevated plane is isolated from the floor plane
