Indicates a position in space
- A.
Point
- B.
Line
- C.
Volume
- D.
Space
Correct Answer
A. PointExplanation
A point is a fundamental geometric object that indicates a specific position in space. It has no dimensions, only a location, and is represented by a dot. Unlike a line, volume, or space, which have length, width, and depth, a point is infinitesimally small and cannot be measured. Therefore, it accurately describes a position in space.Rate this question:

By Le Corbusier comments on "forms", which of the composition that he mention is "very difficult" to satisfy the spirit?
- A.
Commutative composition
- B.
Cumulative composition
- C.
Subtractive Composition
- D.
Cubic Transformation
Correct Answer
D. Cubic TransformationExplanation
Le Corbusier mentions that the "Cubic Transformation" is "very difficult" to satisfy the spirit. Although the explanation for this is not provided, it can be inferred that the complex and multidimensional nature of cubic transformations makes it challenging to create a composition that effectively captures the intended spirit or essence. Cubic transformations involve manipulating three-dimensional space, often resulting in intricate and abstract forms that may be harder to harmonize with the overall composition.Rate this question:

Araeostyle intercolumnation should have a height of
- A.
10 of diameter
- B.
9 of diameter
- C.
8 and a half of diameter
- D.
8 of diameter
Correct Answer
D. 8 of diameterExplanation
Araeostyle intercolumnation should have a height of 8 of diameter because it is a classical architectural term that refers to the spacing between columns in a building. The term "of diameter" indicates that the height of the intercolumnation should be equal to 8 times the diameter of the columns. Therefore, the correct answer is 8 of diameter.Rate this question:

What is the preferred nosing for staircase as dictated by BP344
- A.
Protruded Nosing
- B.
Slanted Nosing
- C.
No nosing
- D.
Depends on the architect
Correct Answer
B. Slanted NosingExplanation
According to BP344, the preferred nosing for a staircase is slanted nosing. This means that the edge of each step should be slanted or sloped, rather than protruding or having no nosing at all. Slanted nosing helps to improve safety by reducing the risk of tripping or slipping on the stairs. It provides a smooth transition between steps and allows for better visibility of the edge, making it easier for individuals to navigate the staircase.Rate this question:
