1. A Creative design having strong
architectural characteristics, resulting from use of a geometric form, or forms
combined into a single unit.
a. Form/s may be of plant material or
man-made, according to schedule, except for classes eligible for Designers
Choice Award, where components are designer’s choice.
b. If construction is made of
man-made forms, plant material must be used to enhance and complete design.
c. Construction material is limited
to one or two types.
1.) The design has a feeling
of being man-made.
2.) It is viewed for lines,
shapes, colors, spaces and shapes.
3.) Architectural forms are
imperative.
2. Construction differs from Assemblage by:
a. Total abstract concept being
optional instead of required.
b. Limited number of forms
permitted.
c. Geometric architectural concept
which results in bold forms.
3. Construction differs from Sculptural form
design by construction’s essential quality of apparent functionalism.
4. Construction means a
three-dimensional structure projecting upward and/or outward from a stable
base. There’s definitely “interpenetration of space”, but it’s not something
floating in space.
