"As you look around, you see countless shapes and forms what is the difference?
-A shapa is made by connecting lines, like a circle cut out of a peice of paper.
- Forms are 3D, enclosing space, like a basketball.
There are 3 basic types of shapes:
Rectilinear forms 9see transparency "squares shapes and forms") this for, is the most commonly used form in our homes. Most of our rooms follow this form and many peices of furniture and accessories are also rectilinear.
1. This form easily fits on drafting boards, building sites and machines infactories.
2. These forms fit together well and help conserve space.
3. This form feels stable and secure because of the 90 degree angles.
4. This form establishes unity and rhythm when repeated. There is a danger of this form feeling harsh or monotonous.
Some examples of square and rectanglar shapes used in a house are: refrigerators, beds, pillows, dish washer, rugs, windows, and doors.
Angular forms: (see transparency "Triangular shapes and forms") Angular forms includes triangles and pyramids. These are found in most sloping roofs. These are the strongest shape.
Diagonals usually make things look larger. They also suggest motion and are less common so they attract and hold attention.
Some examples of triangles shapes use in our homes are: window treatments, christmas trees, and accessories.
Curved forms: Combine continuity and change.
Circles and spheres have unique qualities:
1. They are conservation and economical forms because they resist breakage.
2. They remind us of motion, probably because they remind us of balic.
3. They provide great unity
Examples: Plates, bowls, lampshades, pillows, tables, and chairs.
