centralized forms
Consist of a number of secondary forms clustered about dominant, central parent-forms. Forms that require the visual dominance of a geometrically regular, centrally located form, such as the sphere, cylinder, or polyhedron. Because of their centrality, these forms share the self-centering properties of the point and circle. They are ideal as freestanding structures, isolated within their context, dominating a point in space, or occupying the center of a defined field. They can embody sacred or honorific places, or commemorate significant persons or events. (Ching, 1979)
