20 questions
Question 1: Irregularity in the facade was a principal design element of International Style architecture.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The principal design for International Style architecture includes 'the regularity in the facet', not irregularity.
Question 2: The rectilinear forms of the International Style are best described as symmetrical and highly ornamented.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that International Style rectilinear forms are "undecorated asymmetrical and wide distance" and use "plain surfaces that are completely devoid of applied ornamentation." It also notes "regularity in the facet," but explicitly mentions asymmetry and lack of ornamentation.
Question 3: International Style architecture is characterized by a preference for steeply pitched roofs.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that a characteristic of International Style architecture is the use of a "flat roof," not steeply pitched roofs.
Question 4: High-Tech architecture is described as a characterization of transition from modernism architecture to post-modernism architecture.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: High-tech architecture is described as a characterization of transition from modernism architecture to post-modernism architecture.
Question 5: High-tech architecture demonstrates a readiness to adopt new techniques from engineering.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials explicitly state that "high-tech architecture is a readiness to adopt new technique from engineering."
