It is one of the Properties of form wherein it is the outward form of an object defined by outline. in architecture it is defined as a two dimensional area confined by an actual line or implied line. It is the characteristic outline or surface configuration of a particular form. Shape is the principal aspect by which we identify and categorize forms.
Shape
Size
Color
Texture
Position
It is one of the Properties of form wherein it is the relative extent of something; a thing's overall dimension or magnitude but in architecture size is the physical dimensions of length, width, and depth of a form. While these dimensions determine the proportions of a form, its scale is determined by the size relative to other forms in its context.

Form
This refers to designing and building structures and spaces that are balanced with their natural surroundings and tailored to the function they serve for their inhabitants. organically designed structures seem to blend in with the landscape or rise from it as if the surrounding spaces gave birth to them. (e.g Falling Water of Architect Frank Lloyd Wright)
Abstract
Organic Form
Form
Geometric Form
These are are forms that can be constructed using geometry, such as squares, rectangles, circles, cones, cubes, and many more.. these forms are commonly found in architecture and engineering.
Organic Forms
Form
Abstract
Geometric Form
It is a technique used by artist during the late century to bring out the aesthetics of the subject it is the process of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a different type of character. In Architecture, abstract, is a type of design explored by many modernist, a mixture of form that embodies the transformation of something different and new. This can be aligned to brutalism, modernism, deconstructivism, and expressionist architecture.

Abstract
These are the Transformation of Forms
Additive / Addition
Subtraction / Subtractive
Dimension / Dimenstional
Multiplication / Multiplicative
Division
These are forms that can be transformed by altering one or more of its dimensions and still retain as a member of a family of form. ex. a cube can be transformed into similar prismatic forms through distinct changes in height, width or length., it can be compress into a planar form or stretched out into linear form.
Addition / Additive
Subtraction / Subtractive
Dimension / Dimensional
Multiplication / Multiplicative
Division
A form can be transformed by the addition of elements to its original volume
Additive / Addition
Subtractive / Subtraction
Multiplicative / Multiplication
Dimension / Dimensional
a transformation of by subtracting a portion of its volume. Depending on the extent of the subtracting process, the form can be retain its initial identity or be transformed into a form of another. (This form retains the exterior form and taken the portion interior out)
