Juxtaposition 1

Juxtaposition refers to an act or instance of placing properties close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast. Beyond simply creating interesting effects, such a contrast can be seen as imposing two trains of thought upon each other. Depending on the emphasis of one reference over the other a debate can be seen to arise, when used as a method in postmodern art, however, such debate rarely declares a distinct point of view.

As a developmental strategy, the juxtaposition of values enables relationships to be quickly ascertained and priorities and emphasis identified. Simply begin by putting properties in relation to each other, alter emphasis through a series of stages by noting the consequence of their interaction. Continue until the language moves closer to what you what to achieve.

As a designing students, juxtaposition is important for designing and creating something. We should think differently to create an interesting design that manage to attract the audience.

Rather amusing, don't you think so? It makes you think about just how the legs hang on air.

Delightful and I would not normally have thought of this as juxtaposition. But it is.

It is a beauty, the smoke stacks with each other and the houses to note the similarities and differences, not forgetting the clouds of smoke with the clouds in the sky, of course.

Juxtaposition allows the assessment in the overall architecture of the city.
