Circle of form

Circle of Form offers an informative guide to the complex disciplineof mastering form, contrast and composition in Architecture.The starting point for this book is our ability to see and thinkwhat is similar and what is different. Things can be more or lessdiverse, but oppositions, contrasts are a par­ticu­lar way to conveythe difference. On reflection, opposites are one of the mostused methods to quickly and immediately breakdown complexcompositions into simple, well-defined but connected pieces.Artists have used this knowledge for centuries because simplicitysupports a clear artistic language and oppositions emphasize ex­pres­sion and interaction, whether it is literature, music, painting,sculpture, product design or as in this book: Architecture.The Circle of Form continues this tradition, but with a systematicand modern perspective. The theoretical approach of this bookcontinues the author’s previous re­search into art theories,perception, cognitive theories and neuroscience related to visualexperiences.
