It is a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance. Coming into a form different from its own, occupying another position, changing form
(a)
In Architecture, (a) is defined as “The principle that an architectural concept, structure, or organization can be altered through a series of discrete manipulations and permutations in response to a specific context or set of conditions without a loss of identity or concept.”
It is a method of styling the joints in the formal elements of architectural design.
(a)
An act or process through which something becomes different.
(a)
It is also known as “the spirit of age." It denotes “of our time” or “time spirit” and refers to the common virtual, intellectual and cultural environment of an age.
(a)
A reference to both the internal structure and external outline, often in the shape of a three-dimensional mass or volume.

It is considered to be a form that was consistent and orderly they are generally symmetrical about one or more axes.
Irregular Form
Regular Form
A form whose parts are dissimilar and generally inconsistent and asymmetrical.
Irregular Form
Regular Form
___ Forms will have portions removed from their volume, but they often retain their identity until the profile is drastically altered.
Additive Forms
Subtractive Forms
___ Forms are produced by relating or attaching one or more subordinate forms to their volume, this can be broken down into different types of contact.
Additive Forms
Subtractive Forms
It is where the forms are sharing a common edge.
(Examples of Additive Forms)
Edge to Edge
Face to Face
Spatial Tension
Interlocking
It is where the forms have corresponding surfaces which are parallel to one another.
(Examples of Additive Forms)
Edge to Edge
Face to Face
Spatial Tension
Interlocking
It is where the forms are within close proximity to one another.
(Examples of Additive Forms)
Edge to Edge
Face to Face
Spatial Tension
Interlocking
It is where the forms are interconnected to one another.
(Examples of Additive Forms)
Edge to Edge
Face to Face
Spatial Tension
Interlocking
Additive forms often grow and merge with other forms, creating relationships that can be categorized below:
Centralised Form
Linear Form
Radial Form
Clustered Form
Grid Form
These forms are often free-standing, and isolated within their context.
Centralised Form
Linear Form
Radial Form
Clustered Form
Grid Form
It is often a response to a topography or site context. They tend to demonstrate a selection of forms along a line.
Centralised Form
Linear Form
Radial Form
Clustered Form
Grid Form
It features a centrally located core with linear forms extending outwards from the center, and can create a network of centers linked by linear forms.
Centralised Form
Linear Form
Radial Form
Clustered Form
Grid Form
Tends to be a collection of varying forms. They are often based on a more functional requirement and tend not to be regular or formal.
Centralised Form
Linear Form
Radial Form
Clustered Form
Grid Form
It demonstrates a form that is focused on a grid layout. These forms tend to be considered in the third dimension and are of a modular framework.
Centralised Form
Linear Form
Radial Form
Clustered Form
Grid Form
There are often occasions where two geometries will collide to create a new composite form. This may occur in the following circumstances, EXCEPT:
(Collision of Geometry)
To suit the functional requirements of the internal space
To display a symbolic importance
To direct a space toward or away from a specific site context feature
To create a volume of space within an existing form
To give space for breathing and air flow
It is the repeated or regular way in which something happens or is done.
(a)
It is an arrangement of lines or shapes, especially a design in which the same shape is repeated at regular intervals over a surface.
(a)
It is a diagram or shape that you can use as a guide when you are making something such as a model or a piece of clothing.
(a)
A (a) in architecture is the idea of capturing architectural design ideas as archetypal and reusable descriptions.
When lines and shapes are repeated, they create a (a) .
It is a method of describing good design practices or patterns of useful organization within a field of expertise. It can also be an attempt to express the deeper wisdom of what brings aliveness within a particular field of human endeavor, through a set of interconnected patterns.
(a)
It is strictly geometrical and is defined by the elements of form as constituted by the floors, the walls, the ceiling, the partitions, and all the architectural components or articulations, which together represent a particular form and style of building
(a)
It is a generative process of analysis and synthesis, of trial and error, of trying out possibilities and seizing opportunities.
