The objective of this research is to examine the relationship between states of motion and stillness, and how they can be utilized to create a sense of static movement within 3D design, despite their physical immobility. The study addresses key concepts in the field of design, including: • Motion and Stillness in Design: The research analyzes how lines, shapes, and visual compositions influence the perception of motion or stillness within the design framework. • Static Movement: This refers to a type of perceived movement experienced by the viewer through visual compositions, without the presence of actual motion. It relies on elements such as balance, rhythm, and direction within the design, in addition to other visual properties that contribute to static movement—such as mass, speed, trajectory, spacing, scale, etc. • The Role of the Designer: The study explores how the designer can employ form characteristics and visual relationships (such as symmetry, repetition, contrast, and balance) to evoke a sense of vitality or dynamism in a visually static design. It also highlights the influence of contemporary design trends, and how designers can express themselves through this type of movement. Particular focus is given to selected architectural works that demonstrate the impact of motion and stillness in achieving static movement. • The research concludes that the integration between motion and stillness states can enhance the attractiveness of design and contribute to delivering visual messages more effectively by creating a dynamic interaction between the work and the viewer. • The research recommends the necessity for designers to understand the concepts of motion and stillness and to employ them consciously in various design outputs, as they have a significant impact on perception, reception, and the communication of meaning.
