HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE
HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE
1. Architecture, with all its varying phases and complex developments, must have had a simple origin in the primitive efforts of mankind to provide protection against inclement weather, wild beasts, and human enemies. Hunters and fishermen in primeval times naturally sought shelter in rock caves, and these were manifestly the earliest form of human dwellings; tillers of the soil took cover under arbors of trees, and from them fashioned huts of wattle and daub; while shepherds, who followed their flocks, would lie down under coverings of skins which only had to be raised on posts to form tents. What is the earliest form of dwelling developed by man?
a. Hut
b. Rock Cave
c. Megaron
d. Tent
2. Burial mounds were probably prototypes of the Pyramids in Egypt and of the beehive huts in Wales, Cornwall, Scotland, and Ireland. That at New Grange, Ireland, somewhat resembles the so-called Treasury of Atreus, Mycenae. Lake dwellings, such as those discovered in
Switzerland, Italy, and Ireland, consisted of wooden huts built on piles in the water for protection against attack. A prehistoric burial mound is called
a. Hortus
c. Tumulus
b. Fillet
d. Didoron
3. Monoliths are single upright stones, known in Western France as “menhirs" such as those at Locmariaker and Carnac in Brittany, the latter of which is 63 ft. high, 14 ft. in diameter, and weighs 26o tons. Dolmens and Cromlechs often used as interchangeable terms. Monoliths or menhirs are prototypes of what Egyptian piece?
a. Mastaba
c. Sphynx
b. Pyramid
d. Pylon
4. In the Paleolithic Age, these are houses erected against one wall of a cave. The assembly probably consists of a Timber frame with post supports and skin covering, pinned to the ground by a circle of stones.
a. Tents
c. Bone Huts
b. Lean-to
d. Clay Houses
5. Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, with its larger and smaller circles and horseshoes of mighty monoliths in local " Sarsen " stone and of smaller " foreign " stones, may have been built
