FORM TO FORMATION

ILLUSTRATED GLOSSARY:

1. Extrusion: a process of generating creative forms from a basic form by changing its shape, edges or protruding something out of it.

2. Dimension Change Extrusion: a type of extrusion in which a new form is generated by changing its dimension or size and shape.

3. Platonic Forms: According to Plato's theory of forms, every form is just an idea of how something would look like. Plato devised five platonic solids which are a regular polyhedron where all the faces have equal size and converge at a vertex.

4. Transformation: a dramatic change in the form by altering its dimension, shape or size.

5. Non-figurative: something abstract; not representing a specific form or figure which already exists.

FORMS IN OUR SURROUNDING:

Everything around us is made up of some or the other form. We may not find any resemblance at first but if we observe closely we can see that they all have been generated from a base form.

1. COFFEE MUG: subtraction from cylinder

2. STAIRS:

3. HUMAN BODY: If we look at our body we can see that it is also formed by adding various forms together in a systematic manner.
