1. Describe interaction and stability in 3-D form. What is the “three plane rule?” Give an example?
It has been discovered that there are only three ways that two planar forms can interact with each other. (1) When paper is folded, it meets at a common edge. (2) An edge of one plane can have a common boundary with another. (3) Two planes can pass through one another. The three plane rule is the most simple way to achieve stability. "A stable structure results when any three planes meet so that each plane interacts with both of the other planes."
2. What is an environmental plane and planar structure? Give examples and describe it.
Examples of environmental planes are walls, ceilings, shelves, surface of the earth, etc. They are examples because they all define space in where a planar object finds itself. The ground plane is what a planar structure is attached to.
3. Define an architectonic form. List three examples given in the reading: (A). (B). (C.)
Architectonic form is the category for furniture, architecture, and other objects. Three examples are (A) regular geometric shapes, (B) emphasis on horizontal and vertical orientations and (C) the contrast of closed and open space.
4. How cans a reflective surface effect the transition of space?
Reflective surfaces can effect transitions by creating the illusion of space.
A space is divided and shaped by a plane. For example, a circle can be shown as cross-section slice from a sphere.
6. Describe the following organizational principles that relate to 3 dimensional forms: (Give your own visual examples)
1. Organization-the structure or pattern that ties an object and it's elements together.
2. Synergy-"the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts." Each element individually is not interesting, but when but together in numbers it creates something interesting.

3. Order and freedom- Human minds naturally create order. Excess freedom can result in the lack of viewer engagement.
