CEA Unit 1 Review

What is a Stakeholder?

• a.     An individual trained in the art and science of designing and constructing buildings.

• a.     An intensive workshop in which various stakeholders and experts are brought together to address a particular design issue.

• a.     An engineer trained in the design and construction of public works, such as bridges or dams, and other large facilities.

• One who is involved in or affected by a course of action.

What is Post-and-Lintel Construction?

• An arrangement of several arches whose bases form a circle and whose tops meet in the center.

• A curved structure for spanning an opening, designed to support a vertical load primarily by axial compression.

• Any of the wedge-shaped units in a masonry arch or vault, having side cuts converging at one of the arch centers.

• Wall construction utilizing a framework of vertical posts and horizontal beams to carry floor and roof loads.

What is a Lintel?

• A wedge-shaped stone placed in the crown of an arch.

• An artistic or decorative design, especially one having a characteristic arrangement and considered as a unit.

• A beam supporting the weight above a door or window opening.

• A curved structure for spanning an opening, designed to support a vertical load primarily by axial compression.

How are visual design elements and principles manifested in architecture?

• The vertical characteristics represent dignity, formality, stability, and strength.

• Color schemes create emotional reactions.

• Rough surfaces absorb more light and therefore appear darker.

• All of the above

Define Aesthetics:

• The feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface, substance, or fabric.

• Movement characterized by a patterned repetition or alteration of formal elements or motifs in the same or a modified form.

• The quality of an object that deals with art, beauty, and taste.

• A visual principle associated with change made in size, shape, color, or tone of graphic elements.

What is an Architect?

• An engineer trained in the design and construction of public works, such as bridges or dams, and other large facilities.

• A wedge-shaped stone placed in the crown of an arch.

• An individual trained in the art and science of designing and constructing buildings.

• A principle where some graphic elements are repeated throughout the entire design.

What is a Civil Engineer?

• An individual trained in the art and science of designing and constructing buildings.

• A wedge-shaped stone placed in the crown of an arch.

• A principle where some graphic elements are repeated throughout the entire design.

• An engineer trained in the design and construction of public works, such as bridges or dams, and other large facilities.

How did the art and science of architecture and civil engineering evolve over time?

• Most techniques are still in use having been modified to work with modern materials and techniques.

• Most techniques are done the exact same way.

• Most techniques were forgotten and never seen again.

• Most techniques were not good to begin with.

Which of the following best describes three structural systems used by architects in historical construction projects?

• Arches, Temples, Keystones

• Bearing Walls, Pyramids, Stones

• Bearing Walls, Post and Lintel, Arches

• Post and Lintel, Temples, Columns

What is an Arch?

• The exterior face of a building.

• Wall construction utilizing a framework of vertical posts and horizontal beams to carry floor and roof loads.

• A beam supporting the weight above a door or window opening.

• A curved structure for spanning an opening, designed to support a vertical load primarily by axial compression.
