    The document discusses foundational concepts in landscape architecture including landscape form, primary shapes, form transformations, organizational structures, and the use of straight lines. It explains that landscape form has 3D volume and 2D outlines, and the primary shapes are squares, triangles, and circles. Forms can be transformed through subtractive, additive, rotational, and synthetic methods. Organization relies on masses, lines, grids, symmetry, and asymmetry. Straight lines are used to direct the eye and movement as well as divide space.

    • LANDSCAPE FORM

    Form: 3D expression of volume-may simple, complex or organic


    Shape: 2D expression of edge or outline.
    Edges in Plane Edges in Vertical Plane Edges in overhead plane

    • PRIMARY SHAPES: Square, Triangle &Circle

    Single Space Multiple spaces Multiple spaces & Forms


    • FORM TRANSFORMATIONS: Subtractive, Additive, Rotation, Intervention, Synthesis.
    • ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES: Mass collections, Line, Grid, Symmetry, Asymmetry.
    • UNIFYING PRINCIPLES: Similarity,Interconections
