Three-Dimensional Construction

Relational elements: Position, direction, space, and gravity

Serial Planes: cross-sections, of how the form can be sliced up at regular intervals, which will result in serial planes. Each serial plane can be considered as a unit form which may be used wither in repetition or in gradation. (can vary direction and position)

Wall Structures: All formal two-dimensional structures can become wall structures with the addition of some depth, and their structural sub-divisions can be made into spatial cells.


Three directions: x,y,z axes


Three basic views: front, profile, horizontal


Conceptual Elements: point, line, plane, volume


Relational elements: position, direction, space, and gravity


Constructional elements: vertex (three or more planes meet), edge (two planes meet), face
