GEOMETRY

CREATIVITY
Semester genap 2012/2013

From Ghyka and the

Euclidean practises of the
Modern movement

To the exploration of the

apparent non-Euclidian
by Post Modern pioneers of
the non Historicist stock
Eisenman, Gehry, Hadid

GEOMETRIC FORMS
1. The divine
The form whose existence is undeniable

2. The free form

Based on personal decision of the designer (curves of
no apparent origin, unfamiliar shapes)

3. The combinatorial
form

Geometric shapes composed of parts of the divine &

parts that may belong to free, accomodate the
complexity of the occasional architectural problem

The various lines & geometric shapes and their

architectural application through time

It addresses the supermacy of geometric over

analytical depiction, and the reasons for the appeal
of geometry over the years. The early emphasis of
aesthetes on geometry was partial, with a focus on
elevations, proportional systems, and the concept
of symphonic composition. It also discusses about
the relationship of the various building types and
their corresponding fit with geometry and the
concept of geometric fields is viewed through
both historical examples and contemporary
complex building types. The caution he gave is that
geometry can be misused when the emphasis is on
form as opposed to the inclusivist concerns.
