ARC 308 Exam 1 Practice Questions
and Answers 100% Pass

Bishop's Palace, Nicolas Clayton - ✔✔In Galveston, Texas. Clayton was first real distinguished architect

in Texas.




This was a historic property; building allows us to feel what Galveston culture was like. An aggressive,

over the top house fit Galveston (a successful port at the time).




Also a romantic house with lots of fantasy. Contrast flows well.


Foam House, Charles Harker - ✔✔Counterculture at the time in Austin; rebellious against the standard

and conventional; Austin filled with civil protest.




Built out of unheard of materials, unconventional (organic and natural, free form structure, delicate and

light, open concept) BUT was vulnerable to UV light




House self destructed because of UV light but represented the change in rebellious culture to current

uptight conservatism.


Parthenon - ✔✔Athens was a cultural, intellectual hub; Parthenon was crowned jewel that represents

rebuilding of city after Persians.

Depicts the pure, refined interest of geometry and algebra within the culture


Very precise, pure, mathematically perfect (shows expertise and knowledge of the culture)


ALSO dramatic with wide, open space and large columns-> shows culture of democracy and dramas


St. Peter's; Bramante, Sangalo, Michelangelo, Della Porta, Maderno, Bernini, etc - ✔✔Large scale to

explain how important and dominant God is.




Emotional light and scenes of the Bible; light coming in from the heavens (represents how encompassing

and overpowering religion can be)




Emblem of the Catholic church


Farm, Hugo Haering - ✔✔Society depends on individuals. Nature is man's greatest teacher. Design is an

emotional and spiritual process. Beauty is relative. Each building has its own unique solution. FORM

FOLLOWS FUNCTION. Expression is second to function.




Farm understood function and designed around the purposes of room.




Form comes from the activity and function that a building will serve.


Windows at human eye height, horse movement.




Wiggly, circular movement of life = expression of function. Building is second skin for life.

Barcelona Pavilion, Mies van der Rohe - ✔✔Society depends on its institutions. Design is rational,

analytical, systematic process. There are universal standards of beauty. There are characteristics of

buildings that can be broadly applied. Construction and structure is the most important part of building.




Era was about manufacturing so he made building out of steel frame (logical choice).




Less=more; loose framework so people can make their own life and grow into the building.




Walls are marble and glass to let in light; very detail oriented.




Construction is better than function (expresses age and surroundings)


Farnsworth House, Mies van der Rohe - ✔✔Glass house expresses and highlights the perfect steel frame.




Allows light and view for beautiful outdoor environment.




Blends with nature, like living in middle of nature.


New State Chancellery, Albert Speer - ✔✔Society depends on leaders and how culture advances because

of these leaders. Buildings of a type should have characteristics of their purpose/role. Architecture means

immortality. Design is a tool for communicating ideas. Richness, wonder, drama are what all arc should

aim for. Classical architecture are our great teachers.
