The art and science of designing and constructing buildings and other physical

structures.

Architecture involves many different elements, including spatial design, structural engineering, material science, and environmental considerations.

Buildings are only used to provide shelter for humans

Architecture can be classified as a Fine Art as long as it can represent beauty that is proper to its form

Architecture is a special form of art as it is the only Fine art that is related to a practical need or function.

The sole purpose of architecture as Fine Art is to represent beauty.

The building material, the interior arrangement and exterior aspect of architecture are in part predetermined by the function or practical use of the architecture.  Form follows function in architecture.

Other forms of art like painting sculpture commonly represent a subject.  This is not the case in Architecture.  It is uncommon for buildings or structures as works of art to represent a subject.

What structural system is described below:

Beams or trabs (horizontal members carrying a load) are suspended or supported by columns (vertical supports) which creates serviceable spaces beneath

What structural system is described below:

It makes use of arches. It has an added pushing force on the outer curvature of the arch. Thus it requires buttressing to prevent the outward push of the arch from springing back

What structural system is described below:

Based on the rigidity of the triangle, it is composed of linear members subject to axial tension or compression. It uses small pieces of wood set in a lattice or brace form which allows the spanning of wider spaces.

Which of the following is not a reason why architecture is distinguished from other art?

What principle of the Vitruvian Triad is described below:

The durability and structural integrity of architecture

What principle of the Vitruvian Triad is described below:

The practical functionality of architecture

What principle of the Vitruvian Triad is described below:

The building's ability to mime natural cosmic order

Modernism is defined as hyper-rationality in architecture, eliminating emotion. It almost destroyed the meaning of architecture

What is not a feature of Modernist Architecture?

What principle of structure is described below:

This principle involves designing a building so that its weight is distributed evenly to the foundation.

What principle of structure is described below:

A material's ability to resist stretching or pulling forces.

What principle of structure is described below:

A material's ability to resist crushing or squeezing forces.

What principle of structure is described below:

The ability of a building to resist damage and maintain its shape under stress.

What principle of structure is described below:

The balanced distribution of weight and forces within a building.

What principle of structure is described below:

The relationship between different parts of a building.

What principle of structure is described below:

The objects used in the construction of a building.

What concept of Venustas is described below:

The detailed proportioning of each separate part of a building, and the working out of the general proportions with regards to symmetria

What concept of Venustas is described below:

The fitting arrangement of parts, and the elegant effect of the building achieved

through qualitas.

What concept of Venustas is described below:

It implies the appearance that is graceful and agreeable in the way in which its individual elements are arranged.

What concept of Venustas is described below:

The harmony arising out of the assembled parts of a building, and the correspondence of the separate parts to the form of the building as a whole in a fixed proportion.

What concept of Venustas is described below:

The correct appearance of a building composed according to precedent (auctoritas) from approved elements.

What concept of Venustas is described below:

The advantageous management of materials and site, along with care and economy in the calculation of building costs.

What concept of design is described below:

The relation of form to the size of the human body.

What concept of design is described below:

Proportion of an object to another object; a subtle consideration related to size

What concept of design is described below:

The relationship of parts of a design to each other and to the whole.

What concept of design is described below:

Combination of elements and principles that produces consonance

What concept of design is described below:

State of equilibrium between forces often achieved through symmetry

What concept of design is described below:

Relates visual elements in a regular pattern

What concept of design is described below:

Ensures that important elements look important while minor and rival elements look subordinate.

What concept of design is described below:

Helps the eye focus on measuring size and shape

For the Greeks, beauty derived from only either symmetry, harmony, or proportion.

One of the decorative motifs found in the Roman triumphal arches represents those who were subjected to the Roman power.  In general these are rendered in relief

One of the important architectural traits of the Roman Pantheon is the use of the dome. The dome has made possible for the Roman architects to shape its space and make it continuous and uninterrupted.

One of the advancements in Roman architecture is the opening up of space through the materials they use (concrete) and the arch and vault construction system.

The Roman Colloseum has 3 types of columns:  doric, ionic, corinthian which they entirely copied from the Greeks.
