The Built Environment
You will choose three parts: Architecture:
Part A, B, C, & D are outlined on pages two and three.... This is the study of the art &
science of designing and
constructing buildings. Buildings
are, essentially, an enclosure
inside which things are supposed
to happen. For example: an
outhouse is a simple building
inside which simple (basic) things
happen, an house is a bit more
complicated as a number of things
are meant to happen inside (this
accounts for the variety of design
options), inside a shopping center
retailers must be able to display
their goods, customers must be
able to see them and crowds are
expected to move store to store,
churches are designed specifically
to reinforce the idea of
worshipping a higher ideal (often
ceilings are high - referencing
heaven).
