Collision of forms in architecture
Download as PPTX, PDF2 likes4,883 views
The document discusses different ways that architectural forms can collide or intersect with each other. Forms can subvert their individual identities and merge into a new composite form. Alternatively, forms can retain their separate identities while sharing an interlocking space. Forms can also separate after intersecting but remain linked by a third element that references one of the original forms.
