Forms differing in geometry or orientation may be
incorporated into a single organization for any of the
following reasons:

• To accommodate or accentuate the differing
requirements of interior space and exterior form
• To express the functional or symbolic importance
of a form or space within its context
• To generate a composite form that incorporates
the contrasting geometries into its centralized
organization

• To inflect a space toward a specific feature of
a building site
• To carve a well-defined volume of space from a
building form
• To express and articulate the various constructional or mechanical systems that exist within
a building form

• To reinforce a local condition of symmetry in
a building form
• To respond to contrasting geometries of the
topography, vegetation, boundaries, or existing
structures of a site
• To acknowledge an already existing path of
movement through a building site
