List 2 Elements of Design in the picture below

APPLICATIONS OF TECHNOLOGYPrinciples of Design - Transformation

Transformation

Transformation is an architectural concept, structure, or

organization that can be altered through a series of discrete

manipulations and permutations in response to a specific context

or set of conditions without a loss of identity or concept.

Permutation: changing the order of

elements arranged in a particular

order

Transformation

Ward Willets House by Frank Lloyd Wright is an example of the

transformation of the Cruciform Plan.

Transformation

The Thomas Hardy House is another example of transforming

the Cruciform Plan.

Transformation of Form

Subtractive: subtracting portions

of a volume. Form may retain

identity or become a new form.

Gwathmey Residence

Amagensett, New York

House at Stabio, Mario Botta

Switserland

Transformation of Form

Additive: addition of elements to a volume. How elements areadded and the number and size of elements determine if the original form retains its identity.

Transformation of Form

Additive: addition of elements to a volume. How elements areadded and the number and size of elements determine if the original form retains its identity.

Transformation of Form

Transformation of other

types of solids

Dimensional: altering one or more

of a solids dimensions. The solid

may be compressed or stretched.

Unite d’Habitation, Le Corbusier

Firminy-Vert, France

Collisions of Geometry

Two forms of differing geometry may collide and interpenetrate

each other’s boundaries. Each form will compete for visual

dominance.
