FORMAL COLLISIONS OF GEOMETRY
FORMS
When two forms differing in geometry or
orientation collide and interpenetrate each
other’s boundaries , each will complete for
visual supremacy and dominance.
The two forms can subvert their individual
identities and merge to create a new composite
form.
One of the two form can receive the other totally
within its volume
The Two forms can retain their individual identities
and share the interlocking portions of their
volumes.
The Two forms can separate and be linked by third
element that recalls the geometry of one of the
original forms

FORMAL COLLISIONS OF GEOMETRY
FORMS
Forms differing in geometry or orientation may be incorporate into single organization
•To accommodate or accentuate the different requirement
of interior space
•To carve a well defined volume of space form a building form
• To inflect a space towards a specific feature of the
building site
•To generate a composite form that incorporates the
contrasting geometries into central organization
• To express the functional or symbolic importance of form
or space within its context

FORMAL COLLISIONS OF GEOMETRY
FORMSForms differing in geometry or orientation may be incorporate into single organization
•To express and articulate the various constructional /
mechanical systems that exist within a building form
•To reinforce a local symmetry in the building form
•To respond to contrasting geometries of site’s
topography , vegetation , edges or adjacent
structures
•To acknowledge an already existing path of
movement through a building site

ARTICULATION OF FORMS
Articulation = the manner in which surface of form come together to
define its shape and volume
• Differentiating adjacent surface with a
change of material , color , texture, or pattern
•Developing the corner as distinct linear element
independent of surfaces
•Removing the corner to physically separate
adjacent planes
• lighting the form to create sharp distinctions
of light and dark at its corners

CORNERS
•CORNER defines meeting of two planes if the
two planes simply touch
• introducing a separate and distinct element
that is independent of surfaces it joins
• opening at corner , de-emphasizes the
corner , weakens form volume , emphasizes
the planer qualities of the surfaces
• A volume of space in created to replace the
corner . Deteriorates the corner , allow the
interior space to leak outward .
• Emphasizes the continuity of form’s
surfaces , the compactness of volume and
softness of contour.

SURFACE ARTICULATION
OF FORMS
• A plane shape can be articulated by
contrasting the colors of the surface and the
surrounding field .
• A frontal view reveals the true shape of the
plane ; oblique views distort it
• Elements of know size within a plane’s visual
field can aid our perception of its size and scale
• Texture of plane’s surface together with its
color will affect its visual weight , scale and
light reflective qualities
• The shape and perception of plane can be
distorted or exaggerated by layering an optical
pattern over its surface
