PROJECT 1: The Creation of Form
Form is one of the basic building blocks in Architecture.
We rely on our universal recognition of basic shapes and
forms to allow the viewer to understand the architect's intent.
Three-dimensional circle, triangle, and square variations undergo additive and subtractive transformations and interactions to reflect the program and contextual needs.
Designers also think of form in terms of its mass (solid) and void (volumetric) properties. This project will explore the relationship of how forms work together to clearly express the designer's intent and understanding.
Assignment:
Using the principles of form, construct one or more of the following:
An additive form, a subtractive form, and a form that is both additive and subtractive.
Mass forms and void forms.o Cube and rectangular forms.
Cylinder and sphere forms, pyramid and wedge forms.
Each of the forms must be related to one another. They may not be separate, independent objects, on a plane, rather they must interact, interlock and create spaces and objects.
