Verified Marking Scheme New Update
(Verified A+ Pass)
In their chapter on "The Order of Rooms" the authors of The Place of Houses discuss
the Brick county house by Mies van der Rohe which we also looked at in class in the
early part of the semester. Which of the following best describes their observations? -
Answers -✔✔ It has no discrete rooms, only a single space which slips and slides
through the house and eve, by an outward extension of the walls, to the outside

In the chapter titled "Ours" in The Place of Houses the authors describe some of their
works as "aedicular houses" by which they mean: - Answers -✔✔ houses based on a
four poster form with roof added, which symbolizes a spiritual center

At the beginning of their chapter on the Sea Ranch the authors of The Place of Houses
discuss the Sea Ranch Condominiums which we also looked at in class. Which of the
following is NOT consistent with their observations? - Answers -✔✔ The image of the
building was developed by carefully coordinated consensus with the developers and
other designers like Lawrence Halprin and Joseph Esherich who together established a
set of design guidelines based on a mutually agreed upon "style" before any actual
design occurred

Which of the following is NOT a description of the town of Santa Barbara as observed
by the authors of The Place of Houses? - Answers -✔✔ The town still has an apparent
coherence that owes nearly everything to the deliberate imposition of an English Tudor
style on its main streets and public buildings when they were rebuilt after the
earthquake of 1955

Which of the following is NOT a description of the condominiums at Sea Ranch as
observed by the authors of The Place of Houses? - Answers -✔✔ The condominium
building was the initial attempt, in the larger development, to assert individual privacy
over a community

or

All of the dwellings are identical both for economy and to contribute an egalitarian sense
to the community

In the "Epilogue" chapter of The Place of Houses there is a thorough description of the
Moore/Andersson compound here in Austin (one of several of Charles Moore's own
homes illustrated in the book). Which of the following is NOT an observation made

, there? - Answers -✔✔ It is a crisp, clean modern statement that demonstrates Moore's
less-is-more aesthetic (sometimes dubbed "Less is Moore")

In the chapter titled "Four More Houses" near the end of The Place of Houses there is
an extensive description of Charles Moore's own house in Austin. Which of the following
is an observation made about it? - Answers -✔✔ Though the plan of the compound is
organized internally by an ellipse that joins the two houses and the office around a lap
pool, the ellipse is barely discernable outside Moore's own house

In their chapter on "The Order of Dreams" the authors of The Place of Houses use
Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright as an example. Which of the following is NOT a
description of their observations about it? - Answers -✔✔ This house, like many others,
includes reference to the traditional mythic elements of colonnades, peaked roofs, and a
heavy base

or

The house bears the clear signature of its famous architect and is very much like other
great houses he did in the same area

In their chapter on "The Order of Machines" the authors of The Place of Houses discuss
the bathroom in the Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier. Which of the following is NOT an
observation they make about it? - Answers -✔✔ The toilet is not in a closet but in a
generous skylit space which even has a window with a pleasant vista

At the beginning of their chapter on the Sea Ranch the authors of The Place of Houses
discuss the Sea Ranch Condominiums which we also looked at in class. Which of the
following is most consistent with their observations? - Answers -✔✔ The Sea Ranch
condominium, unlike the buildings in Santa Barbara, was not meant to look "like"
anything in particular. The general vocabulary of shed roofs, no overhands and
generous windows low in walls of vertical redwood boards was, in the narrow sense,
driven by function

In the "Epilogue" chapter of The Place of Houses there is a thorough description of the
Moore/Andersson compound here in Austin. Which of the following is an observation
made there? - Answers -✔✔ It is an example of a thoroughly undistinguished suburban
house bordered by a freeway that was transmuted into a marvelous assembly of
different spaces

In their chapter title "Ours" the authors of The Place of Houses describe several houses
they designed in their own practice. Which of the following is NOT an observation they
make about these houses? - Answers -✔✔ Many of the clients had large, elastic
budgets, and all of them had splendid, picturesque or at least challenging sites
