Centralized form is defined in Architecture: Form, Space, and Order, as a number of secondary forms clustered about a dominant, central parent-form. The GEB (General Education Building) on campus at JCCC is a prime example of centralized form. When walking through the building, and viewing floor plans online, it is evident that all elements are centralized around the middle stairs. Although the stairs do not appear to be a "dominant"form, it is a centralized point where the halls and classrooms (which are secondary forms) all stem from.
