Radiation - Compositions
with Radiation


The repetition of unit or superunit forms around a common center results in radiation, which is a technique used in formal compositions.

The basic structural grid for a design with radiation has a center of reference--the meeting point of all radiating lines, or the point around which structural lines revolve. Radiation normally features lines that converge near the center, with space between lines increasing as they move away from the center.

Structural lines guide the placement of unit or superunit forms that are directly linked to or equidistant from the center of reference.
