Quoting sukantamajumdar@...:

Dear Sukanta

These key items are what has been introduced as the syllabus for the  
course Form and Space in our booklet of Design course description,  
which had been composed in 1994. Teachers are expected to design their  
lecture or exercises based on the items introduced in Booklet.  
Unfortunately I don't have any access to the authors of these courses  
so I can't give you more explanations.


The reason I opened up this discussion was that maybe there are some  
researchers worldwide who could be reminded of some activities or  
resources  regarding what they see by these Items. Mostly these Items  
would be listed under title Form Studies, I think. I can imagine there  
were some form studies courses in Ulm School of Design. And also there  
are now valuable resources for Study of Form from Semantic point of  
View  such as these resources :

Ian Brown , Christopher (1999): Product Semantics, the style of  
Information age ?. Doctoral Dissertation, Nottingham Trent University.

Krippendorff,Klaus( 2006) : the Semantic Turn, a new foundation for  
Design. New York , Taylor & Francis Group.

However I was wondering if there are some more specific resources  
regarding these topics. Maybe members who have some background in  
architecture could also inspire us with how they study form and the  
methods.
