This document outlines a design exercise to explore form in architecture through studying expressions like soft, hard, warm, and delicate. It involves choosing one of four elements - earth, water, fire, or air - and brainstorming keywords depicting its characteristics. Students will then create a mood board and concept sketches and models highlighting design attributes that express the element's keywords. The objectives are interpretation of abstract ideas into architectural form and application of form expressions. Feedback will be provided and students will reflect on their work.
