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.

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.
What are Bearing Walls?
A wedge-shaped stone placed in the crown of an arch.
Solid walls that provide support for each other and for the roof of a structure.
An arrangement of several arches whose bases form a circle and whose tops meet in the center.
Any of the wedge-shaped units in a masonry arch or vault, having side cuts converging at one of the arch centers
What is a Dome?
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.
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.
What is Vernacular Architecture?
Culturally and climatically relevant architecture using locally available materials and traditional building techniques.
The exterior face of a building.
Any of the wedge-shaped units in a masonry arch or vault, having side cuts converging at one of the arch centers.
The dimensions of height, depth, and width within which all things exist and move.
What advantages are there to bringing together a group of people with varying backgrounds and skills for brainstorming a solution to a design problem?
It creates an easier way for one person to dominate the design process.
It promotes imaginative solutions and better avoidance of potential barriers.
There is no advantage.
It more easily demonstrates that there is only one correct answer to every problem or question.
Define Design Principles:
The rules that describe how designers might put together various design elements to create an aesthetic finished product.
The two-dimensional contour that characterizes an object or area.
The shape and structure of something as distinguished from its substance or material.
A basic structural component or building block of designed objects.
Define Element of Design:
The quality of an object that deals with art, beauty, and taste.
The aspect of the appearance of objects and light sources that may be described in terms of hue, lightness, and saturation for objects and hue, brightness, and saturation for light sources.
A basic visual component or building block of designed objects.
The rules that describe how designers might put together various design elements to create an aesthetic finished product.
Define Shape:
The relative lightness or darkness of a color.
Stress or prominence given to an element of a composition by means of contrast, anomaly, or counterpoint.
The two-dimensional contour that characterizes an object or area.
The pleasing or harmonious arrangement or proportion of parts or elements in a design or composition.
How have historical innovations contributed to modern civil engineering and architecture?
