The most beautiful and best preserved of the Greek
theaters.

A. Epidauros (Correct Answer)

B. Pinacotheca
C. Podium
D. Odeoin (Your Answer)
Explanation
The prosperity brought by the Asklepieion enabled Epidaurus to construct civic monuments too:
the huge theatre that delighted Pausanias for its symmetry and beauty, which is used once
again for dramatic performances, the ceremonial Hestiatoreion (banqueting hall), baths and a
palaestra. The theater was designed by Polykleitos the Younger in the 4th century BC. The
original 34 rows were extended in Roman times by another 21 rows. As is usual for Greek
theatres (and as opposed to Roman ones), the view on a lush landscape behind the skênê is
an integral part of the theatre itself and is not to be obscured. It seats up to 15,000 people.
The theatre is marveled for its exceptional acoustics, which permit almost perfect intelligibility of
unamplified spoken word from the proscenium or skênê to all 15,000 spectators, regardless of
their seating (see Ref., in Greek). Famously, tour guides have their groups scattered in the
stands and show them how they can easily hear the sound of a match struck at center-stage. A
2007 study by Nico F. Declercq and Cindy Dekeyser of the Georgia Institute of Technology
indicates that the astonishing acoustic properties are either the result of an accident or the
product of advanced design: The rows of limestone seats filter out low-frequency sounds, such
as the murmur of the crowd, and amplify/reflect high-frequency sounds from the stage.[4]

A. Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Portugal (Your Answer)

B. Nea Moni (Correct Answer)
C. Church of Saint Simon
D. Liverpool Cathedral , U.K.
Explanation
The monastery complex covers an area of approximately 17,000 m2 and consists of the
katholikon, two smaller churches (dedicated to the Holy Cross and to St Panteleimon) the
dining hall ("trapeza"), the monks' cells ("kelia"), the reception hall or "triklinon" and
underground water cistern ("kinsterna"). The complex is surrounded by a wall (the original
Byzantine wall was destroyed in 1822), and in the northeastern corner stands a defensive
tower, in earlier times used as a library.[2] In addition, outside the walls, near the monks'
cemetery, there is a small chapel to St Luke.[3]
The katholikon is the monastery's central structure, dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin
Mary.[2] It is composed of the main church, the esonarthex and the exonarthex. The main
church is of an octagonal shape, the so-called "insular" type, found in Chios and Cyprus.
Although all three sections date to the 11th century, the main church suffered significant
damage in 1822 and 1881, with the result that its current, rebuilt, form is different from the
original. The bell tower was constructed in 1900, replacing an older one built in 1512.[3]
Originally, the remains of the three founders were kept in the exonarthex, but most of these
were destroyed during the sack of 1822.[2]
Along with the katholikon, the only remaining 11th century buildings are the partially ruined
tower, the chapel of St Luke, the cistern and parts of the trapeza.[2] The cells, most of which
are in a ruined state, date to the Venetian and Genovese periods. A small museum, opened in
1992, exists to the NW of the katholikon, housed in a renovated cell. The displayed artifacts
date mostly from the latter 19th century

The Grandest Temple of all Egyptian temples, it was not built by upon one complete plan but owes its
size, disposition and magnificence to the work of many Kings. Built from the 12th Dynasty to the
Ptolemaic period.

A. Great Temple of Ammon, Karnak (Correct Answer)

B. Temple of Queen HATSHEPSUT (Your Answer)
C. The Great temple of Abu-Simbel
D. Temple of Ramsesseum, Thebes
Explanation
The Karnak Temple Complex—usually called Karnak—comprises a vast mix of decayed temples,
chapels, pylons, and other buildings, notably the Great Temple of Amun and a massive structure
begun by Pharaoh Ramses II (ca. 1391–1351 BC). Sacred Lake is part of the site as well. It is
located near Luxor, some 500 km south of Cairo, in Egypt. The area around Karnak was the
ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the
eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city
of Thebes. The Karnak complex takes its name from the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern
village of el-Karnak, some 2.5 km north of Luxor.
The complex is a vast open-air museum and the largest ancient religious site in the world. It is
believed to be the second most visited historical site in Egypt, second only to the Giza Pyramids
near Cairo. It consists of four main parts (precincts), of which only the largest, the Precinct of
Amun-Re, currently is open to the general public. The term Karnak often is understood as being
the Precinct of Amun-Re only, because this is the only part most visitors normally see. The three
other parts, the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Montu, and the dismantled Temple of Amenhotep
IV, are closed to the public. There also are a few smaller temples and sanctuaries located outside
the enclosing walls of the four main parts, as well as several avenues of goddess and ram-
headed sphinxes connecting the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Amun-Re, and the Luxor Temple.
The Precinct of Mut is very ancient, being dedicated to an Earth and creation deity, but not yet
restored. The original temple was destroyed and partially restored by Hatsheput, although another
pharaoh built around it in order to change the focus or orientation of the sacred area. Many
portions of it may have been carried away for use in other buildings.
The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length
of time over which it was developed and used. Construction of temples started in the Middle
Kingdom and continued through to Ptolemaic times. Approximately thirty pharaohs contributed to
the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere. Few of the
individual features of Karnak are unique, but the size and number of features are overwhelming.
The deities represented range from some of the earliest worshiped to those worshiped much later
in the history of the Ancient Egyptian culture. Although destroyed, it also contained an early
temple built by Amenhotep IV, the pharaoh who later would celebrate a near monotheistic religion
he established that prompted him to move his court and religious center away from Thebes. It
also contains evidence of adaptations, using buildings of the Ancient Egyptians by later cultures
for their own religious purposes.
One famous aspect of Karnak, is the Hypostyle Hall in the Precinct of Amun-Re, a hall area of
50,000 sq ft (5,000 m2) with 134 massive columns arranged in 16 rows. 122 of these columns are
10 meters tall, and the other 12 are 21 meters tall with a diameter of over three meters.
The architraves on top of these columns are estimated to weigh 70 tons. These architraves may
have been lifted to these heights using levers. This would be an extremely time-consuming
process and also would require great balance to get to such great heights. A common alternative
theory about how they were moved is that there were large ramps made of sand mud brick or
stone and the stones were towed up the ramps. If they used stone for the ramps they would have
been able to build the ramps with much less material. The top of the ramps presumably would
have either wooden tracks or cobblestones for towing the megaliths.
There is an unfinished pillar in an out of the way location that indicated how it would have been
finished. Final carving was executed after the drums were put in place so that it was not damaged
while being placed.[1][2] Several experiments moving megaliths with ancient technology were
made at other locations – some of them are listed here.
In 2009 UCLA launched a website dedicated to virtual reality digital reconstructions of the Karnak
complex and other resources.[3]
The history of the Karnak complex is largely the history of Thebes and its changing role in the
culture. Religious centers varied by region and with the establishment of the current capital of the
unified culture that changed several times. The city of Thebes does not appear to have been of
great significance before the Eleventh Dynasty and previous temple building here would have
been relatively small, with shrines being dedicated to the early deities of Thebes, the Earth
goddess Mut and Montu. Early building was destroyed by invaders. The earliest known artifact
found in the area of the temple is a small, eight-sided temple from the Eleventh Dynasty, which
mentions Amun-Re. Amun (sometimes called Amen) was long the local tutelary deity of Thebes.
He was identified with the Ram and the Goose. The Egyptian meaning of Amen is, "hidden" or,
the "hidden god".[4]
Major construction work in the Precinct of Amun-Re took place during the Eighteenth dynasty
when Thebes became the capital of the unified Ancient Egypt.
Thutmose I erected an enclosure wall connecting the Fourth and Fifth pylons, which comprise the
earliest part of the temple still standing in situ. Construction of the Hypostyle Hall also may have
begun during the eighteenth dynasty, although most new building was undertaken under Seti I
and Ramesses II.
 Almost every pharaoh of that dynasty has added something to the temple site. Merenptah
commemorated his victories over the Sea Peoples on the walls of the Cachette Court, the start of
the processional route to the Luxor Temple.
Hatshepsut had monuments constructed and also restored the original Precinct of Mut, the
ancient great goddess of Egypt, that had been ravaged by the foreign rulers during the Hyksos
occupation. She had twin obelisks, at the time the tallest in the world, erected at the entrance to
the temple. One still stands, as the tallest surviving ancient obelisk on Earth; the other has broken
in two and toppled. Another of her projects at the site, Karnak's Red Chapel, or Chapelle Rouge,
was intended as a barque shrine and originally, may have stood between her two obelisks. She
later ordered the construction of two more obelisks to celebrate her sixteenth year as pharaoh;
one of the obelisks broke during construction, and thus, a third was constructed to replace it. The
broken obelisk was left at its quarrying site in Aswan, where it still remains. Known as The
Unfinished Obelisk, it demonstrates how obelisks were quarried.[5]
The last major change to Precinct of Amun-Re's layout was the addition of the first pylon and the
massive enclosure walls that surround the whole Precinct, both constructed by Nectanebo I.
In 323 AD, Constantine the Great recognised the Christian religion, and in 356 ordered the closing
of pagan temples throughout the empire. Karnak was by this time mostly abandoned, and
Christian churches were founded amongst the ruins, the most famous example of this is the reuse
of the Festival Hall of Thutmose III's central hall, where painted decorations of saints and Coptic
inscriptions can still be seen.
[edit]European knowledge of Karnak
Thebes' exact placement was unknown in medieval Europe, though both Herodotus and Strabo
give the exact location of Thebes and how long up the Nile one must travel to reach it. Maps of
Egypt, based on the 2nd century Claudius Ptolemaeus' mammoth work Geographia, have been
circling in Europe since the late 14th century, all of them showing Thebes' (Diospolis) location.
Despite this, several European authors of the fifteenth and 16th century who visited only Lower
Egypt and published their travel accounts, such as Joos van Ghistele or André Thévet, put
Thebes in or close to Memphis.
The Karnak temple complex is first described by an unknown Venetian in 1589, although his
account relates no name for the complex. This account, housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale
Centrale di Firenze, is the first known European mention, since ancient Greek and Roman writers,
about a whole range of monuments in Upper Egypt and Nubia, including Karnak, Luxor temple,
Colossi of Memnon, Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae, and others.
Karnak ("Carnac") as a village name, and name of the complex, is first attested in 1668, when two
capuchin missionary brothers Protais and Charles François d'Orléans travelled though the area.
Protais' writing about their travel was published by Melchisédech Thévenot (Relations de divers
voyages curieux, 1670s–1696 editions) and Johann Michael Vansleb (The Present State of Egypt,
1678).
The first drawing of Karnak is found in Paul Lucas' travel account of 1704, (Voyage du Sieur paul
Lucas au Levant). It is rather inaccurate, and can be quite confusing to modern eyes. Lucas
travelled in Egypt during 1699–1703. The drawing shows a mixture of the Precinct of Amun-Re
and the Precinct of Montu, based on a complex confined by the three huge Ptolemaic gateways of
Ptolemy III Euergetes / Ptolemy IV Philopator, and the massive 113 m long, 43 m high and 15 m
thick, first Pylon of the Precinct of Amun-Re.
Karnak was visited and described in succession by Claude Sicard and his travel companion
Pierre Laurent Pincia (1718 and 1720–21), Granger (1731), Frederick Louis Norden (1737–38),
Richard Pococke (1738), James Bruce (1769), Charles-Nicolas-Sigisbert Sonnini de Manoncourt
(1777), William George Browne (1792–93), and finally by a number of scientists of the Napoleon
expedition, including Vivant Denon, during 1798–1799. Claude-Étienne Savary describes the
complex rather detailed in his work of 1785; especially in light that it is a fictional account of a
pretended journey to Upper Egypt, composed out of information from other travellers. Savary did
visit Lower Egypt in 1777–78, and published a work about that too.

Tomb of Atreus, a noted example of the tholos type of tomb is also known as:

A. Mausoleum, Helicarnassos
B. Tomb of Agamemnon (Your Answer)
 C. Thersilion, Megapolis
D. Tomb of Clytemnestra
Explanation
The Treasury of Atreus or Tomb of Agamemnon[1] is an impressive "tholos" tomb on the
Panagitsa Hill at Mycenae, Greece, constructed during the Bronze Age around 1250 BCE. The
lintel stone above the doorway weighs 120 tons, the largest in the world. The tomb was used
for an unknown period of time. Mentioned by Pausanias, it was still visible in 1879 when the
German archeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the shaft graves under the 'agora' in the
Acropolis at Mycenae.
The tomb perhaps held the remains of the sovereign who completed the reconstruction of the
fortress or one of his successors. The grave is in the style of the other tholoi of the Mycenaean
World, of which there are nine in total around the citadel of Mycenae and five more in the
Argolid. However, in its monumental shape and grandeur it is one of the most impressive
monuments surviving from Mycenaean Greece
It is formed of a semi-subterranean room of circular plan, with a corbel arch covering that is
ogival in section. With an interior height of 13.5m and a diameter of 14.5m,[2] it was the tallest
and widest dome in the world for over a thousand years until construction of the Temple of
Hermes in Baiae and the Pantheon in Rome. Great care was taken in the positioning of the
enormous stones, to guarantee the vault's stability over time in bearing the force of
compression from its own weight. This obtained a perfectly smoothed internal surface, onto
which could be placed gold, silver and bronze decoration.
The tholos was entered from an inclined uncovered hall or dromos, 36 meters long and with
dry-stone walls. A short passage led from the tholos chamber to the actual burial chamber,
which was dug out in a nearly cubical shape.
The entrance portal to the tumulus was richly decorated: half-columns in green limestone with
zig-zag motifs on the shaft,[2] a frieze with rosettes above the architrave of the door, and spiral
decoration in bands of red marble that closed the triangular aperture above an architrave.
Segments of the columns and architraves were removed by Lord Elgin in the early nineteenth
century and are now held by the British Museum. The capitals are influenced by ancient
Egyptian examples, and one is in the Pergamon Museum as part of the Antikensammlung
Berlin. Other decorative elements were inlaid with red porphyry and green alabaster, a
surprising luxury for the Bronze Age.

Architect of the Bi-Nuclear House, the H-
Plan.

A. Buckminster Fuller
B. Louis Sullivan
C. Marcel Lajos Breuer (Correct Answer)
D. Le Corbusier (Your Answer)
Explanation
The original title of Marcel Breuer's December 1943 article for California Arts & Architecture was
"Design for Postwar Living." But he changed it to "On a Design of a Bi-Nuclear House." [Actually,
on the typescript, he wrote "By Nuclear," which is either a non-native English speaker's error, or a
slip revealing Breuer's top secret involvement in the Manhattan Project.]

The highly technical bi-nuclear house would ideally suit the needs of "the postwar man" who will
"tend to use his mechanical equipment to supply color and balance to his life, especially if he is
returning from the war. His mechanized world, his job, will probably only keep him busy not more
than three or four days a week. He will quite naturally want to utilize his free time around the
house, which ought to be a more versatile instrument."

In 1943 Breuer envisioned the postwar house split into "two separate zones," one for living and
socializing [including "eating, sport, games, gardening, visitors (and) radio"], and the other for
"concentration, work, and sleeping." ["The bedrooms are designed and dimensioned so that they
may be used as private studies."] After all those years in bunks and tents, it sounded like the
postwar man needed his space, someplace quiet to be alone.

The senate house of the Greeks.

A. Insulae
B. Prytaneion (Correct Answer)
C. Domus
D. Bouleuterion (Your Answer)
Explanation
A Prytaneion (Πρυτανεῖον) was seat of the Prytaneis (executive), and so the seat of government
in ancient Greece. The term is used to describe any of a range of ancient structures where
officials met (normally relating to the government of a city) but the term is also used to refer to the
building where the officials and winners of the Olympic games met at Olympia. The Prytaneion
normally stood in centre of the city, in the agora. The building contained the holy fire of Hestia, the
goddess of the hearth, and symbol of the life of the city.

Forming the imposing entrance to the acropolis and erected by the architect Mnesicles is the...

A. Stoa
B. Propylaea (Your Answer)
C. Parthenon
D. Pteroma
Explanation
The monumental gateway to the Acropolis, the Propylaea was built under the general direction of
the Athenian leader Pericles, but Phidias was given the responsibility for planning the rebuilding
the Acropolis as a whole at the conclusion of the Persian Wars. According to Plutarch, the
Propylaea was designed by the architect Mnesicles, but we know nothing more about him.
Construction began in 437 BCE and was terminated in 432, when the building was still unfinished.
 The Propylaea was constructed of white Pentelic marble and gray Eleusinian marble or limestone,
which was used only for accents. Structural iron was also used, though William Bell Dinsmoor[1]
analyzed the structure and concluded that the iron weakened the building. The structure consists
of a central building with two adjoining wings on the west (outer) side, one to the north and one to
the south. The core is the central building, which presents a standard six-columned Doric façade
both on the West to those entering the Acropolis and on the east to those departing. The columns
echo the proportions (not the size) of the columns of the Parthenon. There is no surviving
evidence for sculpture in the pediments.
The central building contains the gate wall, about two-thirds of the way through it. There are five
gates in the wall, one for the central passageway, which was not paved and lay along the natural
level of the ground, and two on either side at the level of the building's eastern porch, five steps
up from the level of the western porch. The central passageway was the culmination of the
Sacred Way, which led to the Acropolis from Eleusis.
Entrance into the Acropolis was controlled by the Propylaea. Though it was not built as a fortified
structure, it was important that people not ritually clean be denied access to the sanctuary. In
addition, runaway slaves and other miscreants could not be permitted into the sanctuary where
they could claim the protection of the gods. The state treasury was also kept on the Acropolis,
making its security important.

Question. 89) Incorrect
He created the Dymaxion House, "the first machine for
living".
A. Le Corbusier
B. Buckminster Fuller (Correct Answer)
C. Louis Sullivan
D. Marcel Lajos Breuer (Your Answer)
Explanation
The Dymaxion was completed in 1929 after two years of development, and later redesigned in
1945. Buckminster Fuller wanted to mass produce a bathroom and a house. His first
"Dymaxion" design was based on the design of a grain bin. During World War II, the U.S. Army
commissioned Fuller to send these housing units to the Persian Gulf.[1] In 1945, science-fiction
writer Robert A. Heinlein placed an order for one to be delivered to Los Angeles, but the order
was never filled.[2]
The Siberian grain-silo house was the first system in which Fuller noted the "dome effect." Many
installations have reported that a dome induces a local vertical heat-driven vortex that sucks
cooler air downward into a dome if the dome is vented properly (a single overhead vent, and
peripheral vents). Fuller adapted the later units of the grain-silo house to use this effect.
The final design of the Dymaxion house used a central vertical stainless-steel strut on a single
foundation. Structures similar to the spokes of a bicycle-wheel hung down from this supporting
the roof, while beams radiated out supported the floor. Wedge-shaped fans of sheet metal
aluminum formed the roof, ceiling and floor. Each structure was assembled at ground level and
then winched up the strut. The Dymaxion house represented the first conscious effort to build
an autonomous building in the 20th century.
It was a prototype proposed to use a packaging toilet, water storage and a convection-driven
 ventilator built into the roof. It was designed for the stormy areas of the world: temperate
oceanic islands, and the Great Plains of North America, South America and Eurasia. In most
modern houses, laundry, showers and commodes are the major water uses, with drinking,
cooking and dish-washing consuming less than 20 liters per day. The Dymaxion house was
intended to reduce water use by a greywater system, a packaging commode, and a "fogger" to
replace showers. The fogger was based on efficient compressed-air and water degreasers, but
with much smaller water particles to make it comfortable.

The colosseum in Rome also known as the "flavian amphitheater" was commenced by whom and

completed by whom?

A. Nero
B. Vespasian / Domitian (Correct Answer)
C. Julius Caesar
D. Theodosius II (Your Answer)
Explanation
It was begun under the reign of the emperor Vespasian and probably finished under the reign
of his son Titus. The arena can hold up to 20,000 spectators. The interior is mostly intact and
one can still see parts of gears which were used to lift cages up to the arena floor.
In the year 305, the arena was the setting for the persecutions of the patron of Pozzuoli, Saint
 Proculus, and the patron saint of Naples, Saint Januarius. After surviving being thrown to the
wild beasts in the arena, the two were beheaded at the nearby Solfatara.
The elliptical structure measures 147 x 117 meters (482 x 384 feet), with the arena floor
measuring 72.22 x 42.33 meters (237 x 139 feet).
The amphitheater can be visited by taking line number 2 of the Naples, Italy subway, and
getting off at the Pozzuoli stop.
The Flavian Amphitheater is the second of two Roman amphitheaters built in Pozzuoli. The
smaller and older amphitheater (Anfiteatro minore) has been almost totally destroyed by the
construction of the Rome to Naples railway line. Only a dozen arches of this earlier work still
exist. This lesser amphitheater measured 130 x 95 meters (427 x 312 feet).
The site of the structure was chosen at the nearby crossing of roads from Naples, Capua and
Cumae. It was abandoned when it was partially buried by eruptions from the Solfatara volcano.
It was during the medieval period that the marble used on the exterior was stripped. This had
the fortunate result of leaving the interior alone and perfectly preserved. Excavations of the site
were performed 1839 to 1845, 1880 to 1882, and finally in 1947.

Known since the middle ages as the “Colosseum” because of the 100-foot-tall statue of the Sun
god moved next to it by Hadrian (A.D. 76-138), this amphitheater was built by Vespasian in the
valley between the Velia, the Esquiline and the Caelian Hills. The area had been a pond in the
private gardens of Nero's Golden House. Vespasian restored it to public use for the popular
animal hunts and gladiatorial games. The complex, which could hold ca. 45-50,000 spectators,
replaced an earlier amphitheater elsewhere in the city that was destroyed in the great fire of
A.D. 64. Despite the protest of Christian thinkers, the gladiatorial fights continued until well into
the Christian period, ending in the fifth century A.D. The animal hunts continued a century
longer.
