1. Represented by a building which meets in a satisfactory manner
the requirement of logical function, solid construction and
beautiful composition.

A. Architecture
B. Engineering
C. Planning

Click toANSWER:
edit Master title style
A. ARCHITECTURE

Engineering-is the use of scientific principles to design and


build machines, structures, and other items, including
bridges, tunnels, roads, vehicles, and buildings.

Planning- is the process of thinking about the activities


required to achieve a desired goal. It is the first and foremost
activity to achieve desired results. It involves the creation
and maintenance of a plan, such as psychological aspects
that require conceptual skills.

and utilities such as pipes, ducts are are exposed.

A.Radicalism
B.Brutalism
C.Expressionism

16
Click to edit Master title style
ANSWER:
B. BRUTALISM

Radicalism-In political science, the term radicalism is the belief that


society needs to be changed, and that these changes are only possible
through revolutionary means.

Expressionism- is a modernist movement, initially in poetry and


painting, originating in Northern Europe around the beginning of the
20th century

3. An environmental concept where each design component
becomes an essential part of the whole such when one is
removed, the composition is incomplete.

A. Evolutionary architecture
B. Environmental theory perception
C. Organic Architecture

ORGANIC title style
ARCHITECTURE

Evolutionary architecture-The first principle of evolutionary architecture


is to enable incremental change in an architecture over time.

Environmental theory perception-Environmental perception has


commonly been defined as awareness of, or feelings about, the
environment, and as the act of apprehending the environment by the
senses.

4. A term that refers to the edge contour of
a plane or the silhouette of a volume.

A.Form
B. Mass
C. Shape

20
Click to edit Master title style
ANSWER:
C. SHAPE

Form – is the shape, visual appearance, or configuration of an


object. In a wider sense, the form is the way something
happens.

Mass- is both a property of a physical body and a measure of


its resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied.

5. A type of concept which literally relates form
with other objects or processes.

A. Essence
B. Metaphors
C. Analogy

22
Click to edit Master title style
ANSWER:
C. ANALOGY

Essence -is a polysemic term, used in philosophy and theology


as a designation for the property or set of properties that make
an entity or substance what it fundamentally is, and which it has
by necessity, and without which it loses its identity.

Metaphors-is a figure of speech that, for rhetorical effect,


directly refers to one thing by mentioning another.

APPARENT MAGNITUDE and RELATIVE SIZE
If there is an array of like objects of different sizes,
the smaller ones are perceived as being farther
away.

HEIGHT IN PLACE
As we look along a flat plane, objects farther away
appear to be higher, so that we can create the
impression of depth for objects of the same size by
placing them at different heights.

TEXTURE
For irregular surfaces such as rocks or waving
surface of the ocean, there is a gradient of texture
with distance so that the 'grain' becomes finer as
distance becomes greater.

Despite the fact that the observer 'sees' and 'knows' in

composed of plane mosaic stones, it is impossible to
avoid a perception of depth.

ILLUSIONS OF DEPTH
The illusion, the Transformation of what is real into
what is believed to be real, has been a standard
architectural technique since the renaissance.

CONTRADICTORY DEPTH FACTORS


in this figure, it is perceived that the bigger square is
nearer. However, due to the factor of height location,
the bigger square can be farther away.

ADJACENT SPACES
This allow each space to be clearly defined and to
respond, each its own way, to its functional or

SPACE WITHIN A SPACE


A large space can envelop, and contain within its
volume, a smaller space. Visual and spatial continuity
between the two spaces can be easily accommodated,
but the smaller, "contained" space depends on the
larger, enveloping space for its relationship to outdoor
space.

SPACE LINKED BY COMMON SPACE


Two spaces that are separated by distance can be
linked, or related to each other, by a third,
intermediate space. The relationship between the two
spaces will depend on the nature of the third space to
which they share a common relationship.

The envelope of a building is not merely a set of two-

This transition spaces, which forms the envelope, is a
place where people indoors experience something of
what the outdoors is like at the moment, and where
people outside get a glimpse of the functions within.

BUILDING INTERIOR
A look at the interior of a building and its dependence
on mechanical and electrical equipment can serve to
illustrate some basic design choices. Away from the
perimeter and its visible interaction with climate and
other outside forces, the interior is potentially an
isolated environment.

C. Line

Is a line connecting two points in space, about which forms can be arranged in an

denote structure, procession, direction, views, line of rotation and so on. An axis is
used to align elements in the design, and to arrange and plan spaces. 116
Click to edit Master title style A. Axis
Symmetry – an object that is equally proportioned, harmonious and balanced around a specific line. In geometry a
symmetrical figure is the one that when bisected by an axis is divided into two areas which are mirror images of one
another. Symmetrical composition i.e. axial composition this is a composition balanced around an axis.

Line - An extension of a point, elongated mark, connection between two points, the effect of the. edge of an object.

lines are joined to enclose areas.

A. Pattern

C. Rhythm
D. Hierarchy

Is the articulation of spaces and forms in order of importance. The articulation is

relatively to each other. 118
Click to edit Master title style
D. Hierarchy
Transformation - is the principle by which an architectural concept, structure or organisation can be altered through a
series of discrete manipulations and permutations in response to a specific context or set conditions without loss of
identity of the concept. Transformation of form is achieved by changing size, shape, rotating, stretching, morphing and
so on.

Pattern - Pattern refers to groups of elements or motifs that repeat in a predictable manner. It is a structure that
organizes parts of a composition.

Rhythm - Rhythm is a unifying movement characterised by a patterned repetition or alteration of formal elements or
motifs in the same or modified manner. Rhythm differs from repetition in that in the former the shapes change but it is
still recognizable, whereas in the later the shape remains constant.
