  4. What does form mean? • refers to the shape or configuration of a building • Opposite: space  reciprocal relationship is essential (provide internal sheltered space for human occupation) • one of the primary elements of architecture. • the placement in relation to its immediate site and neighboring buildings • exterior space can be defined • considerations in order to analyze or design an architectural form: shape, mass / size, scale, proportion, rhythm, articulation, texture, color, and light.

  5. What is a shape? • configuration of surfaces and edges of a two- or three-dimensional object • perceived by contour or silhouette, rather than by detail. • Primary shapes, the circle, triangle, and square  generate volumes known as "platonic solids.”
