THEORY / PLANNING REVIEWER
1 These constituted the barriers to migration since the earliest periods of civilization (mountains; deserts; seas)
2 Visible architecture is composed of:
3 A plane extended in a direction other than its intrinsic direction. Conceptually it has three dimensions: length,
width and depth.
4 Primary shapes that can be extended or rotated to generate volume whose forms are distinct, regular and easily
recognizable
5 One of four basic possibilities for two forms to group together. This requires that the two forms be relatively close
to each other or share a common visual trait.
6 Defined geometrically as a line that is divided such that the lesser portion is to the greater as the greater is to be
the whole.
7 One type of cues used in depth perception where in one object appears to cut off the view of another
8 Is the primary identifying characteristic of a volume. It is determined by the shapes and interrelationships of the
planes that describe the boundaries of volume
9 Is the attribute that most clearly distinguishes a form from its environment.
10 It is a comparison showing differences, the opposite of similarity.
11 The most important kind of character in architecture is that which result from the purpose of the building or
reason of erection.
12 Most elementary means of organizing forms and spaces in architecture.
13 Characterized by an arrangement where all the part radiate from a center like the spikes in a wheel.
14 It means equality
15 It gives a feeling of grandeur, dignity and monumentality.
16 When lines, planes, and surface treatments are repeated in a regular sequence.
17 A kind of character that came from the influence of ideas and impressions related to or growing out of past
experience.
18 It is evident by a comparison which the eye makes between the size, shape and tone of a various object or part of
a competition.
19 Deals with the relationship between the different parts of the whole to the various parts.
20 It bears a certain relation to the same attribute to the life of an individual.
21 These systems are based on the dimension and proportion of the human body.
22 The size and proportion of an element appear to have relative to other elements of known or assumed size.
23 Kind of rhythm where equally spaced windows are introduced on the broken wall, then regular repetition is
presented.

26 Who said that The magnificent display of volume put together in the light
27 That which the eye identifies, the mind perceives and interprets.
28 With respect to an observer.
29 A series of form arranged in sequence in a row.
30 A set of modular forms related and regulated by 3D grid.
31 Subtracting a portion of a forms volume to create another.
32 This refer to the manner in which the surface of a form come together to define its
shape and volume.
33 Who said The will of the epoch translated into space
34 A composition of linear forms extending outward from a central form in a radial manner.
35 Architecture is generally conceived, designed and realized.
36 A number of secondary forms clustered about a dominant, centra-perceive form.
37 One or more dimension are altered but will retain its identity.
38 A collection of forms grouped together by proximity or the sharing of a common

visual trait.
39 Can be regular or irregular, primary characteristic that identifies.
40 is a diagram, usually to scale, of the relationships between rooms, spaces and other physical features at one
level of a
structure.
41 Describes the relationships between elements of a design.
42 Is a commercial building with several small scale entrepreneurs who sell their commodities in a limited space or
modules that provide them low rentals for the buyers to avail cheaper merchandize, both to retail and wholesale.
43 What do you call the study that deals with human measurements?
44 deals with space planning in relationship with mans activities
45 human factor engineering
46 Early type of settlement in America taken after the baug
