an example of: - ✔✔Answer: Geometry used to accomplish significant structure efficiencies in an

innovative way OR its spherical form made up of many linear pieces assembles in polygonal modules

achieves notable structural feats using pure geometries.

In the chapter on "Rhythm in Architecture" Rasmussen used, as one of his examples, the Glass Show

Frank Lloyd Wright designed in San Francisco (which has some elements in common with the

Guggenheim Museum by Wright that we looked at in class). Which of the following best describes him

observations? - ✔✔Answer: The space is more geometric than rhythmic. Though composed of rounded

and curving forms all related to each other, there is no natural rhythm flowing through them.


In his chapter on "Daylight on Architecture" Rasmussen refers to the light quality in the Chapel at

Ronchamps by Le Corbusier which was also shown in class. Which of the following describes the light

quality of that buildings interior? - ✔✔Answer: Daylight is introduced in numerous interesting ways

creating an overall effect of shadowed, dimness through indirect lighting. For example, a very thick wall

pierced by many openings of unequal sizes casts reflected light into the dim-lit room


In his chapter on "Contrasting Effects of Solids and Cavities" Rasmussen discussed two architects whose

work we looked at in class- Borromini, whose work is Baroque, and Frank Lloyd Wright, whose work is

modern. What is the point he makes in comparing Frank Lloyd Wright's work to that of Borromini and

other Baroque architects? - ✔✔Answer: Many of Wright's buildings have Baroque traits. He works with

contrasting forms, curves which change from concave to convex, and interpenetrating architectural

volumes


In class we discussed the villas of Andrew Palladio- especially the Villa Rotunda. Rasmussen makes a

number of references to Palladio's work but devotes several pages in particular to his Villa Foscari of

which Rasmussen observes: - ✔✔Similar characteristics as those noted in class- well proportioned rooms

which all relate to each other and to the whole in an integral way.


In his chapter of "hearing Architecture" Rasmussen observes which of the following about the

relationship between the church design and church music? - ✔✔Answer: every large church interior has

its own voice, its special possibilities, which can produce and accommodate different types of music.
