Kahn spoke of Form as having no shape or dimension, and used the image of a spoon as a supporting example. Spoon, according to Kahn, found form at the intersection of two distinct objects, a handle and a bowl. That was all that Spoon need be, nothing more, nothing less.

Buildings, likewise, can be broken into constituent pieces: doors, walls, windows. The difference here, I think, is that buildings – architectures – are defined also by place, without which architecture would mean nothing.

So what, then, is the true Form of Place?

Consider this. A cloud is, by definition, formless.
