Form is what architects create, evoking the notion of the architect as the form giver, and implying that form exists to transmit meaning. Physically shaping the material objects that surround us, form takes us directly to the question of meaning central in architecture and architectural education.
To untangle this seeming paradox, this paper will argue that diagrams have been crucial in the recent history of design because they provide a visual way to structure thought, a graphic method of determining what is perceived, what is considered relevant, and what sense is made of the revealed complexity of issues.
After giving insights into the contrasting concepts of the diagram, this paper studies three different approaches to the diagram in architectural praxes: Analytical diagram in Sejima's works, textual diagram in Eisenman's works, and material diagram in Spuybroek's works.
In architecture, form refers to a combination of external appearance, internal structure, and the unity of the design as a whole, [1] an order created by the architect using space and mass. [2] External appearance. Irregular shapes at the Berliner Philharmonie.
2 sie 2023 · In this chapter I explore how certain aspects of the dynamics of form and embodied vision in three-dimensional spatial experience can be rendered in 3D. I take isovists along a path and plot in succession the fluctuation of their variables in three dimensions.
These diagrams often relate architectural form with program, invisible phenomenon such as light and wind, and relate elements to the human scale.
26 mar 2019 · This study divides movement types into three major groups: (1) movement in relation to architectural form and space—where the existence of the explorer is not necessary and architecture involves embedded motion per se; (2) movement of a spectator in relation to the built form; and (3) movement of an explorer in relation to the built space.
