1. Fragmentation of forms - breaking down the building into multiple, irregular parts.
2. Tilting and skewing of building elements - creating a sense of instability and chaos.
3. Use of unconventional materials - incorporating surfacing materials such as glass, steel, and concrete, and exposing structural elements that would usually be hidden.
4. Overlapping and interlocking of geometries - creating complexity and visual interest through the layering of forms.
5. Distortion of scale - scaling elements in unexpected ways, such as oversized beams or undersized windows.
6. Emphasis on movement and circulation - creating an experience of fluidity and motion by manipulating the paths of movement through the building.
7. Dramatic lighting - using lighting to highlight the sculptural nature of the building and create contrast and depth.
