FORMS...

 Primary Solids:
2-D primary Shapes, such as square, rectangle, triangle and circle; can be expanded in a third direction or revolved on an axis to create 3-D forms called primary solids. These forms can have volume and they vivid.

Dimensional Transformation:
There can be a transformation of a form by adjusting the one or more dimensions but still keeping true to the originality of the former shape.

Subtractive Transformation:
When a section of a solid has been cut out or when another from can be created by subtracting  from its original form.

Additive Transformation:
A solid can be transformed by adding the same form or a total different shape. There are 5 kinds of additive formations:
-Centralizes Forms 
-Linear Forms 
-Radial Forms 
-Clustered Forms 
-Grid Forms

Formal Collision of Geometry :
It occurs when two contrasting forms are combined together to generate a new volumes. There are 5 kinds of formal collision of geometry:
-Circle & Square
-Rotated Grid
-Articulation of Form
-Edges & Corners

 -Surfaces

  1. Your Formal collision is really nice, and it is unexpected when I was looking for examples of my own, this is really unique.
