1- From Object to Field:

A field condition is a space that unifies different elements together without changing each of their properties. Unifying them without changing each element’s identity can create a system of connectivity. Examining the local connections in a field condition is important.

2- Geometric Vs. Algebraic Combination:

Parts or elements can be added to create a whole. Algebraic systems are expressed in numerical units and geometric systems are expressed in things such as figures and lines. However, algebraic systems can be expressed in geometric elements rather than numerical units.

3- Walking Out of Cubism:

Cubism was abandoned for minimalism so that decorative elements could be disregarded and more simple. Non-complex compositions became the focus, subtracting any complex elements.

4- Thick 2D: Moirés, Mats:

The relationship between the figure and ground has an effect on the field. The field contains intensified moments in it as well as establish links and connections between the moments.

5- Flocks, Schools, Swarms, Crowds:

The movements of each individual are effected and formed by the field conditions. Crowds can be slow and quick, staggering, open and closed, etc…

6- Distributed Institutions:

Hierarchy, symmetry, and axiality are all important components to architecture. Architecture undergoes changes and shifts as a result of the field conditions.
