organization that can be altered through a series of discrete
manipulations and permutations in response to a specific context
or set of conditions without a loss of identity or concept.

6. Transformation of Form
Subtractive: subtracting portions
of a volume. Form may retain
identity or become a new form.

Gwathmey Residence

Additive: addition of elements to a volume. How elements are
added and the number and size of elements determine if the original form retains its identity.

8. Transformation of Form
Additive: addition of elements to a volume. How elements are

Dimensional: altering one or more
of a solids dimensions. The solid
may be compressed or stretched.

dominance.
