ELEMENTS OF DESIGN 2
Question 2:The use of a line
represents the most basic of
architectural design elements.
Lines define the shape, form
and volume of a design
solution. They also create a
sense of the rhythm and flow
within a solution.
A. POINT
B. SHAPE
C. LINE
Source: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ELEMENTS(CURRICULUM
DEVELOPMENT SECTION 7.0) - Kurt Dietrich
 answer:
LINE
The aspects of line can be used to draw attention away
from or towards specific elements. Lines can be created
by use of contrasting design elements (differing colours or
textures) or through the definition of balance within a
design.

ELEMENTS OF DESIGN 3

Question 3:
Is a design element relative to architectural principles refer to the
two-dimensional representation of form. It is the outline, silhouette or
basic form of structure that which is the simplest to perceive in built
form. .
A. PLANE B. SHAPE
C. MASS
Source: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ELEMENTS(CURRICULUM
DEVELOPMENT SECTION 7.0) - Kurt Dietrich
 answer: SHAPE
Shape evokes a responsive emotion in the viewer, providing the "first" affect of the building solution.
The forms and types of shape will provide varied responses, utilized by the architect to create an
emotion in accordance with the intended design solution.

FORM AND SPACE 4

Question 4:
this type of relatiooship requires that the two forms be
relatively close to each other, or share a common visual trait such
as shape,
material of color.

A. FACE to FACE CONTACT B. INTERLOCKING VOLUMES

C. SPATIAL TENSION
source: ARCHITECTURAL THEORY OF DESIGN ( THE NEW LADDER
TYPE CURRICULUM) -GEORGE SALINDA SALVAN ... fuap
 answer:
SPATIAL TENSION
by FACE to FACE CONTACT -this type of relationship requires the tw,o forms
to have flat, planar surfaces that are parallel to each other.
&
by INTERLOCKING VOLUMES-in this type of relationship, two forms interpe-
netrate each other's space. These forms need not share any visual traits.

FORM AND SPACE 5
Question 5:
consists of linear forms that
extend outward from a centrally
located .core element in a
radiating manner. It combines
the aspects of centrality
and linearity into a single
composition.

A. RADIAL FORM B. CENTRALIZED FORM

C. LINEAR FORM
source: ARCHITECTURAL THEORY OF DESIGN ( THE NEW LADDER
TYPE CURRICULUM) -GEORGE SALINDA SALVAN ... fuap
 answer:
RADIAL FORM
The radiating arms, having properties similar to those of linear forms, give a

radial form its extroverted nature. They can reach-out and relate or attach them-
selves to specific features of their site. They can expose their long surfaces to

desirable conditions of sun, wind, view, or space.

Radial forms can grow into a network where several centers are linked by
linear forms.

 answer:
Two kinds of symmetry:

arrangement of similar elements along a
median axis.
2. Radial symmetry – balanced
arrangement of radial elements around a
centerpoint.

factories, they have standard sizes and proportions
imposed on them by the individual manufacturers or by
industry standards.

ARCHITECTURAL PROCESS AND METHODOLOGIES 10
Question 10:

After establishing the program for a project, the focus in the

architectural design process shifts from what the problems are
to how to solve those problems. During schematic design, the
focus is on the “scheme”, or overall high-level design. Here,
minor details should be ignored to instead focus on creating a
coherent solution that encompass the project as a whole.

pollutant to some within a building.

a. Building Related Illness

b. Building Sickness Illness
c. Building Related Sickness
d. None of the above

source: TIP canvas

 answer:
Building related illness
Building-related illnesses are disorders that affect the lungs as well as other
parts of the body and are caused by exposure to substances within modern
airtight buildings. Building-related illnesses are caused by exposure to
substances within airtight buildings that have poor ventilation.

Question 13:

One of the most widely used climate classification system

Developed byWladimir Koppen.

a. WK Climate Classification
b. Koppen Climate Identification
c. Vladimir World Wide Climate Regularization
d. Koppen Climate Classification

source: TIP canvas

 answer:
koppen climate classification
The Köppen climate classification system is one of the most
common climate classification systems in the world. It is used to
denote different climate regions on Earth based on local
vegetation. The Köppen-Geiger system uses colors and shades to
classify the world into five climate zones based on criteria like
temperature, which allows for different vegetation growth.
