Circles, Groups, and Stacks

Grouping
i
Pruitt-Igoe was designed by Minoru Yamasaki in 1951-1955. This is an example of grouping. The building are layout in a group like form. the idea of a grouping design and not just building being close is that fact that the buildings are all unified in design. the buildings also mimic each other in color, shape, line, and form.

Stacks 
i
Robin House was designed by Frank Lloyd Right between 1908 and 1910. This structure represents sticking due to the number of layers created by the ledges that  sticks out. the differences in texture and color give the illusion of multiple layers and stacking. the buildings balance isn't symmetrical but it isn't uneven.

Circles 
i
The Guggenheim Museum was designed by Frank Lloyd Right in 1943-1959. This building is an example of circles for obvious reasons. The building is circular in both shape and form. the continued line gives the building even more of a circular appearance as it draws the eye around the building.
