Variations of Form
Even inanimate forms take on a recognizability and personality in their constitution, just as living beings do.
In designing a form, one travels along paths articulated in infinite branches, leading to as many infinite formal results.
Guided by an inspiration, by an expressive intention, one finally arrives at a formal definition.
If the form is successful, it expresses a principle of coherence and becomes interesting; it has something to say, something to communicate. In the best cases, it certainly contains the initial intentionality, but also further reverberations that the initial intentionality did not foresee, and thus becomes autonomous from it.
