Architectural ordonnance refers to the arrangement of architectural elements such as columns, windows, and doors in a space. The way that these elements are arranged can greatly influence the use of sculpture and other art installations within the space.
For example, if the architectural ordonnance of a space is very ornate and decorative, it may be difficult to incorporate additional sculpture or art without it feeling cluttered or overwhelming. In this case, a minimalist approach may be necessary in order to allow the architecture to take center stage. Likewise, if the architectural style is very modern and minimalist, it may be necessary to incorporate larger, more sculptural art installations in order to add texture and interest to the space.
Additionally, the placement of sculpture within a space should be carefully considered in relation to the architectural ordonnance. If the space is very symmetrical, sculpture should be placed in a way that complements this symmetry, rather than disrupting it. Similarly, if the space has a lot of curves and organic shapes, sculpture or art installations should be placed in a way that complements these shapes.
Overall, the architectural ordonnance of a space plays a crucial role in determining how sculpture and other art installations are incorporated into the space. By carefully considering the architectural style and arrangement of the elements within the space, it is possible to create a harmonious and cohesive design that incorporates both architecture and art seamlessly.
