1.) Principle of Design: Emphasis
Justification: The columns and arches stick out from the background more and draws attention to them rather than the background.
Element of Design: Form
Justification: The columns and archs have a more 3-D form than the its background.
2.) Principle of Design: Balance, Symmetrical balance
Justification: The left and right side of this design are equal and same in design.
Element of Design: Lines, Vertical Lines
Justification: The columns going all the way up in this structure demonstrates it's stability through vertical lines.
3.) Principle of Design: Contrast
Justification: The tower is highly more noticeable than the building, the white of the tower makes it stand out more than the red brick building.
Element of Design: Color
Justification: The white of the tower stands out more than the brick building.
4.) Principle of Design: Movement
Justification: The edges of this structure have a slight sense of action and flow, especially the right side.
Element of Design: Texture
Justification: The glass provides a smooth texture for this building.
5.) Principle of Design: Balance
Justification: This design is the same on both its left and right side, so it has horizontal symmetry.
Element of Design: Shape
Justification: This structure has a more 2 dimensional shape to it.
6.) Principle of Design: Unity
Justification: This structure is consistent with its use of blue designs.
Element of Design: Value
Justification: This structure is colored with variety of different shades of blue.
7.) Principle of Design: Balance, Asymmetrical
Justification: The left side of this image has a cupola and the right side has a higher roof, so the two sides are not the same but they are equal in visual weight.
Element of Design: Space
Justification: The outside of this image appears wide and open and the house looks quite large and possibly open inside as well.
8.) Principle of Design: Rhythm
Justification: The arches in this structure are repeated consistently throughout.
Element of Design: Line
Justification: The columns provide a sense of strength and stability through vertical lines.
9.) Principle of Design: Emphasis
Justification: In this image all attention is drawn to the gold wall in the back.
Element of Design: Space
Justification: The inside of this structure is very open and tall.
10.) Principle of Design: Rhythm
Justification: This image has a repeated use of a variety of red and blue colors.
Element of Design: Color

Conclusion
In what way do certain elements or principles identify the time period in which astructure was created?
Certain elements and principles were more popular and more effective in different time periods.
What factors might account for an incorrect identification?
Different people may have different opinions on what the most prominent element and principle fits in a structure.
Describe an example of a way that design principles and elements could impact the function of a building.
If you, as an architect hypothetically, are designing a structure for a strong powerful corporation, you will want to design a structure that is tall and appears formidable which is why taller and taller skyscrapers make such a big impact on big cities.
