Also, this change that space and form have undergone together should be considered based on the change and development in theory, discourse, technology, material, time etc. Depending on this development and change process, architectural form is also evident to change its expressions. The main goal of this research is to define the types of forms and their characteristics as well as the types of the possible spatial organizations in architectural design. The investigation includes analysis of the contemporary architecture. In this article are analyzed the examples from the practice with the aim of emphasising the significance of the conceptual design strategies used in architectural design.
