Direction of the planes can be varied in three
different ways. Rotation on a vertical axis
requires a diversion of the planes from parallel
arrangement. Position is definitely affected,
because every directional change simultaneously
demands positional change.The planes in this case
can be arranged in radiation, forming a circular
shape.Or they can form a shape with curves left
and right.
21

Rotation on a horizontal axis cannot be done if
the planes are fixed on a horizontal baseboard.
If they are fixed on a vertical baseboard, their
rotation on a horizontal axis would be
essentially the same as the rotation on a
vertical axis described above.
22
Rotation on its own plane means that the corners
or edges of each plane are moved from one
position to another without affecting the basic
direction of the plane itself. This results in a
spirally twisted shape.
23
Spacing of the planes

• If no directional variations are introduced, all
  the serial planes will be parallel to one
  another, each following the next successively,
  with equal spacing between them.
• Spacing between the planes can be made narrow or
  wide.Narrow spacing gives the form a greater
  feeling of solidity, whereas wide spacing weakens
  the suggestion of volume.

24
Distortions in Volumetric Shape - (Alignment)

• Without changing the spacing between the planes,
  the position of each plane can be shifted
  gradually towards one side or back and forth.

25
Variation in Vertical PositionAgain without
changing the spacing between the planes, the
position of each plane can be shifted gradually
upwards or downwards. This can be easily done if
the planes are hung or supported in midair.
