Chapter2: Form

Primary Solids:

Primary solids are 3 dimensional forms. Primary solids are the evolution of the primary 2d shapes (circle-triangle-rectangle- square)

This farm is an example of a primary solid evolved from half an ellipse that rotated on itself and created this elliptical sphere

Dimensional transformation :

Dimensional Transformation happens upon altering one of the dimensions of the object so that the final product pertains the spirit of the original . This projects alters some of the forms' height while maintain similar width in most of the repetitions

Subtractive Forms:

Subtraction is the Process of cutting forms out of an existing one. The end product does not give up the place of the subtractive form. The subtractive form can be easily determined.

In this building , we can easily articulate the cut prism out of the existing form

Additive Forms:

Addition is a transformation where some forms are joined to an existing form. The addition can be central, linear, clustered, and radial.

This kind of addition is a central addition where elliptical cylinders are added from a center point.

Formal Collision of Geometry:
Two geometric forms interpenetrate each other changing the spirit and the identity of the two seperate forms

Circle and Square: I find this example of circle and square collision. If these two shapes were put apart, the whole concept of this space will be different. These shapes colliding makes this space.
