Vitality signifies liveliness in any element. It is obtained by varying proportions of
solids and voids. This could be accentuated by cantilevers, curves, slopes,
interesting forms, colours, facade treatments etc.
They look lively and generate instant reactions by the onlookers. Vitality buildings
are full of life, bold and dynamic.
Vitality produces variety. Elements which stress growth or movement bring vitality
in composition.
Another good example of Vitality is the Dancing House, Prague. The building is used
as an office building and is not open to public, but on the seventh floor there is
restaurant which is open to public. This building is dynamic in its form and structures.
