2. FORM
Have you ever heard of a courting couch?
FORM CAN BE REALISTIC, ABSTRACT, GEOMETRIC, AND FREE.
REALISTIC FORM – WHEN A FORM LOOKS LIKE THE REAL THING.
ABSTRACT FORM – REARRANGES OR STYLIZES A RECOGNIZABLE
OBJECT.
GEOMETRIC FORM – USES SQUARES, RECTANGLES, CIRCLES, AND OTHER GEOMETRIC FIGURES TO
CREATE FORM.
FREE FORM IS RANDOM AND FLOWING
1. “Form follows function.” This means the shape of the item should be based on its intended use.
THREE GUIDELINES FOR USING FORM:
2. “Related forms are more agreeable than unrelated forms.”
What do you think?
3. “A GRADUAL CHANGE IN FORM SMOOTHLY DIRECTS THE EYES.”
The area around a form and inside a form
The walls of a room define its space
Good design considers the SIZE OF THE SPACE and ARRANGEMENT OF THE SPACE.
3. SPACE
Large windows and cathedral ceilings create a feeling of openness and more space
Small spaces make you feel cozy
The size or amount of space taken up by the elements
A space can be high mass or low mass.
4. MASS
LOW MASS SPACE: RELAXING, PEACEFUL
HIGH MASS SPACE: BUSY, ENHANCES CONVERSATION
The way a surface feels (TACTILE) or appears to feel (VISUAL).

person’s individuality or to create a certain mood or illusion
