Form is part of our range of instruments that we use as architects on a daily basis. Yet we discuss form too little. We are more prone to discuss functional or economic aspects. Because these weigh heavier, or because they are simply easier to understand. While architects have excellent knowledge of size, scale, proportions and disproportions. Usually as only ones. Moreover, these kinds of visual components are ultimately very determining factors during the development of a successful building. During the ‘Study of Form’ studio we celebrate the experiment: we research and test a number of basic concepts through the production of fast models. Here the experience and meaning of form are central. The ultimate goal is to develop your own individual form grammar.
