Form Analysis

primary shapes primary solids

proportion:
A form can be transformed by alternating one or
more of its dimensions and still retain its identity
as a member of a familt of form.

Seperation:
Two spaces that are separated by distance can be
linked or related to each other by a third, intermediate,
space. The visual and spatial relationship between the
two spaces depends on the nature of the third space
with which they share a common bond.
Substractive
Transformation:
A form can be transformated by substracting a
portion of its volume, and the form can retain its
identity depending on the extent of substraction.

Intersection
of Volumes
Subtractiom

Interlocking Volumes:
In this type of relationship, the forms interpenetrate each
other’s space. The forms need not share any visual traits.
