ARC 308 EXAM 2 MC QUESTIONS
In her chapter on "Sacredness", Ms. Heschong describes "passive solar-heated
buildings" similar to the ones we looked at in class. Which of the following is not
consistent with the attitudes she expresses about those buildings?

a. They provide a prime expression of the belief that we should not use technology to
distance ourselves from the natural world; rather we should strive for a more intimate
relationship with natural forces

b. The primary disadvantage of these buildings is that they may go through an air
temperature flux as great as 20* F per day. For this reason they can never be widely
used

c. They may provoke a migration strategy among inhabitants whereby one might work in
a cooler lower level, eat in a middle level, sleep and bathe in the warmest upper area.
Thermal qualities begin to affect use patterns

d. A solar house, geared to both the people who live in it and the cycles of the sun,
embodies an at - Answers -b. The primary disadvantage of these buildings is that they
may go through an air temperature flux as great as 20* F per day. For this reason they
can never be widely used

In her chapter on "Necessity", Ms. Heschong notes that "Of all creatures, human beings
have the greatest variety of thermal strategies available to them." Which of the following
is not one such strategy she notes?

a. Our mammalian heritage gives us metabolic adjustments that allow us to maintain
comfort over quite a spread of thermal conditions.

b. Our naked skin functions perfectly in hot, humid topics as well as in most other
climates, meaning that traditional clothing could develop more for ornament than for
thermal function.

c. We can consciously vary our muscular activity to increase or decrease heat
production, much like the lizard or butterfly

d. Humans parallel animal migration. Many New Englanders maintain a cottage in the
country or along the seacoast where they find relief from the hot city - Answers -b. Our
naked skin functions perfectly in hot, humid topics as well as in most other climates,
meaning that traditional clothing could develop more for ornament than for thermal
function.

In the chapter on "Necessity" in Thermal Delight in Architecture, Ms. Heschong makes
the point that organisms, both plants and animals, have various mechanisms for coping
with thermal change. Which of the following is not a point she makes in that regard?

, a. Plants can be deciduous. By dropping their leaves they reduce exposure to
temperature extremes and reduce metabolic levels, withdrawing to a protected core or
roots underground.

b. Cold-blooded animals are at a thermal disadvantage to plants because they must just
endure thermal conditions or perish

c. Many of the simpler forms of life, such as bacteria, fungi and yeast, stop metabolizing
-essentially stop living- when the temperature becomes inhospitable. they come back to
life when favorable conditions return.

d. Warm-blooded animals evolved with a system for regulating their internal body
temperature that takes full advantage of the heat generated by their - Answers -b. Cold-
blooded animals are at a thermal disadvantage to plants because they must just endure
thermal conditions or perish

In the lecture on "Synthesis/Physical Considerations", we discussed attitudes towards
Agriculture at Dominus Winery as compared to attitudes towards architecture. Which of
the following best describes observations made in this regard?

a. Both in making wine and in making a building, Dominus Winery emphasizes image.
The "brand" of the famous French winery is foremost in both enterprises

b. Both in making wine and in making a building, Dominus Winery respects the
character of the soil, managing rainfall and optimizing positive effects of the sun

c. In making wine, image and "brand" are foremost. In making a building, soil, rainfall,
and sun have a powerful impact

d. In making wine, soil, rainfall, and sun have a powerful impact. In making a building,
image and "brand" are foremost - Answers -b. Both in making wine and in making a
building, Dominus Winery respects the character of the soil, managing rainfall and
optimizing positive effects of the sun

In the lecture on "Technology as a Source of Beauty", we talked about the background
of Santiago Calatrava. Which of the following was noted as a distinction of his training
as an architect?

a. In addition to his architecture degree, he studied Sociology and got a Ph.D. in Art
History

b. In addition to his Architecture degree, he studied Art and got a Ph.D. in Civil
Engineering
