1. Describe interaction and stability in 3-D form. What is the “three plane rule?” Give an example?
Interaction is the way that planar forms mix or connect with one another. Planes do 3 different things: meet at a common edge, one edge could be adjacent to another, planes could pass through one another. Stability is the way that the structure holds its self up physically. Using the “three plane rule” is the simplest method for achieving stability. It states, “a stable structure results when any three planes meet so that each plane interacts with both of the other planes.

2. What is an environmental plane and planar structure? Give examples and describe it.
Environmental plane is a space where a planar object finds itself and the object is experienced. Planar structure is any surface that is mounted.

3. Define an architectonic form. List three examples given in the reading:
Architectonic form is a specific category of planar form, it is a formal category of architecture.
(A). Regular geometric shapes, using rectangles, triangles, and simple curves

(B). Primary emphasis, horizontal/vertical orientations and usually orthogonal

(C). Strong contrast for interior and exterior space, transitions between two spaces.
Vincent Callebaut
Agora Tower, Taiwan
4. How can a reflective surface effect the transition of space?
Reflective surfaces effect the visual transitions by creating illusions of space in a closed surface.

5. How can planes define volume?
Planes divide and shape space, they define volume by their shape.

6. Describe the following organizational principles that relate to 3 dimensional forms: (Give your own visual examples)
1. Organization is the overall pattern, the structure that brings the different parts of an object together to create a united, sensible, purposeful whole.

2. Synergy shows the capability that can emerge in an organization, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”

3. Order and freedom, order is the natural direction or instruction that humans create in their mind to create something. Freedom is letting the creation take its own form not being bound by direction. Too much of one of theses can create a dysfunctional design, but one should chose one to emphasize but still have aspects of the other.

4. Structure and unity, structure defined in different ways one is an pre-set organizational device that shows the relative position, direction, and scale of all the visual elements in the design (systematic); others include on visual interplay and past experience to create a composition with a sense of order (intuitive). Unity brings balance, repetition with variety, proportion, continuity, focus and emphasis, and economy, together to create a whole in the design.

5. Symmetry most symmetry is mirrored symmetry, where one half of the composition is repeated by its reflection to the other half. Radical symmetry is also common in 3D forms that repeat from a central axis.
Louise Campbell
6. Repetition within variety is using the same or similar elements to create order in a composition while giving it some excitement to catch attention.

7. Rhythm and gradation are important to repetition with variety, rhythm gives short successions in a repetition, while gradation changes the progression of the path.
