Forming and Centering

Forming and Centering: Foundational Aspects of Architectural Design, Volume 1, provides a comprehensive analysis of the core principles of architecture. Kenneth Moffett examines the central issues of the field by organizing them into an integrated narrative. This architecture text focuses on the two primary elements that define the built environment: the processes that create shape and the mechanisms that provide focus.

The author explores the relationship between forming and centering to explain how these complementary aspects guide architectural design. By framing the discussion around these foundational concepts, the book offers a structured approach to understanding spatial organization. This volume serves as a professional resource for those studying architecture and design theory.
