Describe the exterior of a building. It can be any kind--a house, an office, a store, a restaurant, whatever you want. Don't go crazy using architectural terms, or if you do, then try to explain what they mean visually. For example, don't just say "flying buttresses"; show what they look like. Make sure to use all five senses in your description rather than sight alone, excluding taste if you can't work it in. You can try to create a specific atmosphere or evoke a certain emotion, or you can simply make this an exercise in description.
