Unit as part to whole architecture
National Assembly Building, 1983 by Louis Kahn
Field condition architecture
Yokohama International Port Terminal, 2002 by FOA
Here are two other references when describing object based and field based architecture, in addition to the examples from 'Field Conditions' of classical architecture and the Cordoba Mosque. Louis Kahn mastered building by proportion, utilizing an overall geometry to define one part (i.e. an opening) in relation to the entire building. As for field conditions, the Yokohama Terminal building uses the path as their base unit to construct a space designed around circulation and movement.
