Selected Bibliography Architecture - Form Space and Order

PAR AL L EL PLANES Sarabhai House, Ahmedabad, India, 1955, Le Corbusier The parallel vertical planes of a bearing-wall structural system can be the generating force behind the form and organization of a building. Their repetitive pattern can be modified by varying their length or by introducing voids within the planes to accommodate the dimensional requirements of larger spaces. These voids can also define circulation paths and establish visual relationships perpendicular to the wall planes. The slots of space defined by parallel wall planes can also be modulated by altering the spacing and configuration of the planes.
