FORM TRANSFORMATION

Instructor
FORM
ARCHITECTURAL FORM

• is the point of contact between


mass and space

Properties of Form:
• Shape

• Size

• Color

• Texture

• Position

• Orientation

• Visual Inertia
FORM TRANSFORMATION
DIMENSIONAL
TRANSFORMATION
• A form can be transformed by altering one or more of its
dimensions and still retain its identity as a member of a family
of forms
• A cube, for example, can be transformed into similar prismatic
forms through discrete changes in height, length or width
SUBTRACTIVE
TRANSFORMATION
• A form can be transformed by subtracting a portion of its
volume
• Depending on the extent of the subtractive process, the form
can still retain its initial identity or be transformed into a form of
another family
ADDITIVE TRANSFORMATION

• A form can be transformed by the addition of elements to its


volume
• The nature of the additive process and the number and
relative sizes of the elements being attached determine
whether the identity of the initial form is altered or retained
