FORMING -- Unitary -- Addition -- Adjoining -- Linear Linking -- Matrix Embedding -- Touching -- Enfacing -- Collidive Embedding -- Superposition -- Encapsulation -- "Z Axis" Cases -- Replication -- Duplication & Regression: Singular -- Linear -- Planar -- Volumetric -- Subtraction -- Plan Oriented: One, Two, Three Dimensions -- Elevation Oriented: One, Two, Three Dimensions -- Variants on the Mediating Cases "Ultimate" Subtraction -- Deformation -- Tensile -- Compressive -- Shear -- Bending -- Torque -- Biomorphic -- Explosive -- Implosive -- Dimensionalities -- Planar -- Volumetric/Planar -- Linear -- Volumetric/Linear -- Planar/Linear -- Volumetric/Planar/Linear -- Formative Hybrids -- Volumetric -- Planar -- Volumetric/Planar -- Linear -- Volumetric/Linear -- Planar/Linear -- Volumetric/Planar/Linear -- CENTERING -- Limiting Cases -- Radials: Core- and Void-Centered -- Shells: Core- and Void-Centered -- Linking Cases -- Full Penumbras: Core- and Void-Centered -- Partial Penumbras: Core- and Void-Centered -- Unitary Redux -- Centering Hybrids -- Additive: Linear Linking -- Touching -- Enfacing -- Embedding -- Superposition -- Encapsulation -- "Z Axis" Cases -- Replicative: Cores -- Grids -- Subtractive: Incrementation -- Subtractive Accommodation -- Deformative: Morphing -- Deformative Accommodation -- Conclusions -- Forming Modes Related -- Centering Modes Related -- Forming & Centering Related. Part I 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Part II 8. 9. 10. 11.
Nearly every work of architecture can be characterized by specific approaches to forming and centering. An awareness of these "underpinnings" would facilitate a more informed approach to architectural design problems, as well as a deeper understanding of the central issues (and flaws) embodied by completed works of architecture. But the addressing of such topics has generally remained multifarious and diverse: more in the nature of a collection of independent issues than an overarching analytical argument. In this book, fresh looks at such issues are assembled and recast into a fully integrated narrative, based on two foundational and complementary aspects of architectural design: those that give shape and those that give focus-forming and centering.
