    Indicates a position in space

    • Point

    • Line

    • Volume

    • Space

    Correct Answer
    A. Point
    Explanation
    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.

    What is the preferred nosing for staircase as dictated by BP344

    • Protruded Nosing

    • Slanted Nosing

    • No nosing

    • Depends on the architect

    Correct Answer
    A. Slanted Nosing
    Explanation
    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.

    Araeostyle intercolumnation should have a height of

    • 10 of diameter

    • 9 of diameter

    • 8 and a half of diameter

    • 8 of diameter

    Correct Answer
    A. 8 of diameter
    Explanation
    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.

    The Ronchamp Church designed by Le Corbusier has the openings slant towards their centers at varying degrees, thus letting in light at different angles. This glass is sometimes clear, but is often decorated with small pieces of stained glass in typical Corbusier colors. What is the color Le Corbusier did not use for this project?

    • Red

    • Green

    • Yellow

    • Blue

    Correct Answer
    A. Blue
    Explanation
    Le Corbusier did not use blue color for the Ronchamp Church project.

    By Le Corbusier comments on "forms", which of the composition that he mention is "very difficult" to satisfy the spirit?

    • Commutative composition

    • Cumulative composition

    • Subtractive Composition

    • Cubic Transformation

    Correct Answer
    A. Cubic Transformation
    Explanation
    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.
