Lec 3 Solid Void

Architecture is defined by the intersection of solid and void. These are inherently opposite things, but together they form the physical and visual experience of buildings. Space allows movement, perception of volumes, and sensory experiences related to architecture. As form begins to be captured, sculpted, enclosed, and organized by mass, architecture comes into existence.

Lecture 3 -

Describe the geometries that were used to define these forms. What solid forms can you see? What Void
Forms where used to create them? Sketch the void forms.

Using sketches, illustrate the Void Volumes that are defining the interior sections and architectural mass of
your Design III Project. How can these forms be enhanced to improve the articulation of the space?

On your floor plans, identify the spatial relationships of the different functions in your project.

Spatial Qualities
Additive forms are produced by relating or attaching one or more subordinate
forms to its volume. This can be broken down into different types of contact.
