Features: Architectural form is meaningful, and the visual tension of architectural form lies precisely in the meaning of the form or the transformation of meaning. So, how to understand the relationship between architectural form and meaning, how to construct an ideal architectural form, and how to discover the compositional methods and principles of a building's form are the main contents of this book. This book proposes "intersection" and "parallel" as two fundamental perspectives for the composition of architectural form, and also introduces four basic compositional elements: "form," "interface," "center," and "periphery." On this basis, this book classifies and analyzes nearly 100 cases, hoping to help readers understand and learn the compositional methods and principles of architectural form.
