| | | | | | | | |
the Fibonacci Series turn out to relate directly to natural phenomena such as the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
clockwise and anticlockwise spirals on the surface of pinecones and pineapples
| | | | | | | | | | |
and in the centers of daisies.

| | | | | | | | | | |
object is reflected across a plane to create another
| | | | | | | |
instance of itself. | |
Symmetrical balance - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-If two equal objects are the same
| | | | | | | | | | |
distance from the fulcrum, it is balanced symmetrically.
| | | | | | |
Asymmetrical balance - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Two unequal objects can be
| | | | | | | | |
balanced by moving their distance from the fulcrum or using objects of different
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
sizes an equal distance from the fulcrum
| | | | | |
Radial balance - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Is based on a circle with elements
| | | | | | | | | | |
arranged around a single point
| | | |
Rhythm - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Involves the repetition of elements in space.
| | | | | | | | |
Emphasis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Is the focal point of a space or an object. It
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
gives more importance or significance to some part of the design.
| | | | | | | | | |
, Pattern - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Patterns can be either structural or applied.
| | | | | | | | | |
Patterns create perceived texture.
| | |
Ornamentation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Refers to visual extras added to enrich a
| | | | | | | | | | |
design.
Concrete - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Is a wet combination of cement, aggregate and
| | | | | | | | | |
water mixed together
| | |
Cement - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Is a dry mix of chalk and clay ground into fine
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
particles then heated until they fuse to form ball-shaped particles of cement
| | | | | | | | | | | |
clinker.

| | | | | | | | | |
situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort
| | | | | | | | | |
effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
or cause can be identified. Complaints are related to poor indoor air quality.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Conifer trees or softwoods - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Particularly pine, are used for
| | | | | | | | | |
rough carpentry or joinery and finished strip and panel work. They are
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
sometimes referred to as carcass woods. | | | | |
