5. FORM – the primary identifying characteristic of a volume, it is determined by the shapes and interrelationships of the plans that describe the boundaries of the volume.
“general to the particular” , mass to detail

6. MASS - a shape or three-dimensional volume that has or gives the illusion of having weight, density, and bulk.
VOLUME - The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object or region of space, expressed in cubic units.

8. VISUAL PROPERTIES OF FORM
Shape
The principal identifying characteristic of form
Size
The real dimension of form
Color
The hue, intensity and total value
Texture
The surface characteristic of form
Position
The form’s location relative to its
environment or visual field
The form’s position relative to the
ground plane. Compass point
Orientation
Visual Inertial
The degree of concentration
and stability of form

9. VISUAL PROPERTIES OF FORM
Shape – the principal identifying characteristic of form.
circle – is centralized, introverted figure that is normally stable and self centering in its environment.

10. triangle – signifies stability when resting on one of its sides but tends to fall over onto one of its sides.
square – represents the pure and national. It is static and neutral figure having no preferred direction

14. TRANSFORMATION OF FORMS
DIMENSIONAL TRANSFORMATION
ADDITIVE TRANSFORMATION
SUBTRACTIVE TRANSFORMATION

15. ADDITIVE FORMS
by SPATIAL TENSION – two forms relatively close to each other, or share a common visual traits such as shape, material of color

16. ADDITIVE FORMS
by EDGE TO EDGE CONTACT – to forms share a common edge, and can pivot about an edge
Claude-Nicolas-Ledoux-Architecture

17. ADDITIVE FORMS
by FACE TO FACE CONTACT – two forms to have flat, planar surface that are parallel to each other.

18. ADDITIVE FORMS
by INTERLOCKING VOLUMES – two forms interpenetrate each other’s space

19. FIVE DIAGRAMS OF FORMS
CENTRALIZED FORMS – a number of secondary forms clustered about dominant, central, parent forms.

20. FIVE DIAGRAMS OF FORMS
LINEAR FORMS – consist of forms arranged sequentially in a row.

21. FIVE DIAGRAMS OF FORMS
RADIAL FORMS – composition of linear forms that extend outward from central forms in radial manner.

22. FIVE DIAGRAMS OF FORMS
CLUSTERED FORMS – consist of forms that are grouped together by proximity or sharing of a common visual trait.
Same Shape
different sizes
same size

23. FIVE DIAGRAMS OF FORMS
GRID FORMS – modular forms whose relationship are regulated by three dimensional grids.
