Geometric Shapes

The choice of shape dramatically alters the perspective and complexity of the design. Geometric shapes have distinct corners and edges as opposed to organic forms which are more irregular and asymmetrical and cannot be easily constructed using geometry. When materials are added as well as setting the atmosphere of the model, its structure and facade are immediately enhanced. As seen in an example, the accentuation of shadows and light allows the models' geometric aspects to be exposed and allows spaces to be divided. With a non-traditional approach, this ultimately creates a sense of intentional rigidity and chaos and also may be used to create abstract interpretations of designs that would normally be depicted as organic shapes.
