Theory:
Form is one of the basic building blocks in architecture.  We rely on our universal recognition of basic shapes and forms to allow the viewer to understand the architect's intent.  Three dimensional variations of the circle, triangle and square undergo additive and subtractive transformations and interactions to reflect program and contextual needs.   Designers also think of form in terms of its mass (solid) and void (volumetric) properties.  This project will explore the relationship of how form work together to clearly express the designer's intent and understanding. 

Material:
1 - layer of 15" x 15" x 1/4" foam core
2 - 16 oz. boxes of large sugar cubes
1 - hot glue gun

Assignment:
Using the principles of form, construct one or more of the following: an additive form, a subtractive form, and a form that is both additive and subtractive. Each of the forms must be related to one another. They may not be separate, independent objects, on a plane, rather they must interact, interlock and create spaces and objects. The more creative and original the design solution, the higher the grade.  Projects shall have a minimum of 9 forms.
