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 constitute an ideal architectural form, and how to discover the compositional methods and patterns of a building in terms of form—these are the main contents of this book. The book proposes "intersection" and "parallelism" as two fundamental perspectives for constituting architectural form, and also introduces four basic compositional elements: "form," "interface," "center," and "periphery." On this basis, the book categorically analyzes nearly 100 cases, hoping to help readers understand and learn the compositional methods and patterns of architectural form.
