"Rating systems like LEED have raised awareness of green buildings among clients and professionals, and now WELL is starting to shift the focus to people and how buildings can make people feel more productive and happier. Unlike LEED, WELL certified buildings must be evaluated after they are built and occupied for a period of time so they use actual performance data for aspects such as energy use, lighting levels, and air quality, and performance data must be submitted to the International WELL Building Institute to maintain their WELL certification. " Which Statement below is NOT CORRECT when considering the effectiveness of certification systems: -

According to the article, "The Social Context of Resilient Architecture: "Globally, the most used green building certification system is the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) designation. This program has been at the forefront of granting recognition for "green" buildings designed with energy conservation in mind since its development in 1993 (U.S. Green Building Council, n.d.). LEED is a points- based system whereby a candidate building or neighborhood is assessed based on its merits across a series of broad categories with points assigned based on a structure's performance in seven distinct sustainable parameters relating to: (Which Parameter below DOES NOT belong -

6. Economic impact: rewarding collaborative ingenuity regarding profit margins and other economic benefits for design firms and real estate development companies.

All of the Above

In the Architecture-Art & Science lecture, it was asserted that a central goal for the discipline of architecture should be its consideration: -

As both an art and as a science because art and science have been represented for several generations as being at odds. An authentic understanding of them depends on an understanding not of their differences but of their common purpose: to overcome chaos.

When Questioned about the ethical issues with undertaking a politically loaded project such as CCTV, Rem Koolhas's initial response was: -

He suggested that China's system is changing so fast that by the time his building is completed, CCTV will have been privatized and China will have given up repression as a political tool.

In the video "People will "learn to love" architecture created using technology", Marius Myking, (Snohetta) eludes to the fact that: -

Change is a fundamentally an unpleasant experience so designers must put in their mindset to also focus on creating "meaning" for people through "stories" or "narratives" that place these changes in a context allowing individuals to process, understand, and accept them.

Which designer(s) made the film the "Powers of Ten"?:

Epistêmê is the Greek word most often translated as knowledge, while technê is translated as either craft or art.

When brought together, systemic thinking and theories of resilience CANNOT produce new ways of understanding processes of change that involve human and nonhuman systems and their many parts. In the area of trauma research, for example, even if we try to understand the need to stop asking individuals who have been traumatized, "What is wrong with you?" and instead ask the more important question, "What happened to you that is causing you to behave the way you do?" This second question FAILS to deliver new knowledge because it shifts attention away from a single system's (i.e., the individual) re-sponsibility for recovery, adaptation, or transformation and focuses instead on the environmental triggers that influence patterns of change. -

None of the above.

Which statement below is NOT correct:

Practicing architecture has very little to do with creating physical environments that perform successfully. The singular purpose for architects is to create buildings that are truly only artistic expressions: buildings do not have to creatively accommodate human functions, nor do they have to be buildable from many components and materials, provide any shelter what so ever from the elements, attempt to resist the forces of nature while preserving natural resources, and be somewhat affordable.

Larry Speck's overall assertion in his lecture is: -

That creative innovation often emerges from constraints which should be seen as opportunities, not obstacles.

What is Eric Nays's central criticism of McDonough's Book "Cradle to Cradle". -

That the Ford plant presented at the end of the book is suspect as the type of project that should be held up as an exemplar for a more sustainable systemic "rethink" of our core design principles.

In the video on how architecture can heal, Michael Murphy described how at the finish of the remodel of his family home, his father made the statement "Michael, this house probably saved me." What did he mean by this statement? -

The illusion of the plan

What does the film the "Powers of Ten" MOST focus upon:

The relative size of things in the universe and the effect on our scalar perception when adding another "0" to the perceptual equation.Good Critical thinking skills have which components:()1) & 4)

Why does architecture "stand apart" from the other arts?:

Through its impersonal and functional qualities that seeming require quite peculiar attitudes, not only for its creation, but also for its enjoyment.

As mentioned in the introduction lecture for the course, Mark Taylor asserts that what challenge is ongoing: (Hint: the structure of the course is based on this notion)

To bring theory and practice together in such a way that we can theorize our practices and practice our theories."

In design practice, how should one understand sustainability in a way that gives it true meaning?: -

To give it real meaning sustainability should be seen as a normative, complex, contextualized, and contested resource essential in the development of a more reflective understanding of how design practices interact with the environment authentically.

"Even when focused on a single organism (i.e., a human being or a coral reef), the process of resilience is concerned with the changing condition of one or more systems when they are exposed to an atypical amount of stress. A child, for example, demonstrates resilience when she shows positive developmental outcomes despite early exposure to adversity related to extreme neglect often associated with abusive parents or placement in substandard institutional care. By its very nature, then, resilience implies an interaction between nested or contingent and cooccurring systems" -

True

"The term "design thinking" for example has been coined to describe a practice of open ended, semi-rational, semi-intuitive trans-disciplinary inquiry.....The expanded sense of design is thus not enough on its own. Design under conditions of scarcity has to act with an awareness of the constitution of those constraints, and then project outwards from them. -

True

According to McDonough, "Applied to design, the laws of nature give architects, designers and planners a set of principles that allow them to articulate in form a building's or a town's connection to a particular place. They allow us to create buildings that make the energy of the sun a part of our metabolism and apply it to positive human purpose—the building as "human leaf." -

True

Being intelligent is no guarantee of aptitude for architecture. A large dose of native talent must lie in the genes; talents can be brought forth and nurtured but not taught. Like certain personal qualities, such talent may be developed in spite of, not because of, formal education. Intuition, instinct, and inventiveness are indispensable to architectural design; erudition and intelligence are necessary but not sufficient.

True

False consciousness is a term used - primarily by Marxist sociologists - to describe ways in which material, ideological, and institutional processes and other class actors within capitalist societies concealing the exploitation intrinsic to the social relations between classes. -

True

In American society, architects do enjoy some status as designers and technical specialists, but they seldom are among the prominent decision makers, typically politicians, attorneys, business owners, corporate and government executives, and people of great wealth. Regrettably, architects often are perceived as having narrow interests and expertise, limited primarily to matters of aesthetics and construction, even though many possess broad skills, knowledge, and wisdom. Architects themselves have reinforced this perception by frequently remaining aloof or uninvolved. Unfortunately, the relatively low public profile of architects, their minimal involvement in dealing with the larger society, is a persistent problem. Architecture is not a powerful profession

True

Marc Swackhammer's thesis or vision for Architectural education, research, & engagement moving forward is for architecture to have a "solid core with a fuzzy boundary" -

True

Meeting both performance and aesthetic objectives simultaneously is architecture's greatest creative challenge. Once that challenge is taken up, the excitement of design is matched only by the excitement of realization. Seeing one's design actually constructed is elating both emotionally and intellectually, and the rewards of responding to creative impulses are intensified by the struggles that accompany creativity.

True

Public spirited architects contribute in ways other than designing buildings. Being adept in matters of organization, coordination, and advocacy, some architects have been successful in assisting needy individuals, communities, and special interest groups to develop projects, preserve buildings, or save neighborhoods. Although architects in these situations may not produce designs or drawings, their efforts and knowhow may lead to worthwhile building or better environmental sensitivity.

True

The concept of "Zietgeist" or spirit of the times falls short of defining the essence of architecture because it relies on "Historicism" These framework has no real method whereby to associate the works of a given period with its ruling spirit. All it can do is to reflect on their association after the event, and try to derive, from a critical understanding of individual buildings, a suitable formula with which to summarize their worth.

True

True or False: "Aesthetics" is a set of principles concerned with the nature and appreciation of beauty, especially in art.

True

Working with less—resources, space, and time—will most likely continue to inform much of the built environment in the future, although the parameters and mechanisms of scarcity that influence creative design innovation have not yet been fully explored. -

True

In her talk "why place and well-being are at the new frontier of medicine" Dr. Esther Sternberg proposes that generally, place can support activities that produce a similar stress response to dopamines which can assist in the healing process. -

True.

According to Rachel Brown's Lecture, to be considered an "Architect" legally (and to refer to yourself as an architect) in the United States, what credentials must one have?: -

a. An individual must have qualified for, taken, and passed the architectural registration exam (ARE) and their architectural license is current.

According to Cronin, the fundamental problem with wilderness is that in its current cultural meaning: -

we fool ourselves when we suppose that wilderness can be the solution to our culture's problematic relationships with the nonhuman world, for wilderness is itself no small part of the problem.

According to Charles Jencks, architecture is: -

irreducibly plural, an unstable, hybrid based partly on codes external to itself, making use of other practices such as engineering and sociology, etc., in unique combinations.

In his essay, "Buildings like Trees/Cities like Forests", William McDonough asserts that combining an understanding of building and energy systems with an emerging "essay of clues," would allow designers to discover more appropriate patterns for the development of the landscape. Which of these statements DOESN'T describe an appropriate outcome of this type of understanding. -

the city would become "a human operation directed against nature" and each individual house will be considered "a machine for living in." as architecture worldwide will be shaped by a "mass production spirit."

In attempting to define an essence of architecture, the critique of how functionalism fails that most closely follows Roger Scruton's argument:

the terms of the theory are fundamentally, obscure. what is meant by the term 'function'? is it referring to the function of the building, or the function of its parts?

According to Rachel Brown's Lecture, Which of the following is NOT controversial when it comes to licensure: -

unfairly promotes Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW)
