HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE

Pre-Historic 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 c. Megaron b. Rock cave 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. Sphinx 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 by one megalithic race at one period or by two races at successive periods. As to its origin and date speculation seems endless; the approximate date assigned to it by Sir Norman Lockyer is B.C. 1680, but whether it is pre-Celtic or Celtic, pre-Druidical or Druidical, or partly both in origin, its ruling purpose must surely have been religious. The Stonehenge is an example of a. Ziggurat c. Hypaethral Court b. Domus d. Stone Circle 6. The tumulus which form so large a part of the prehistoric remains of both continents, are interesting to the architect only as revealing the prototypes of the pyramids of Egypt and the subterranean tombs of Mycen and other early Greek centers. What particular commemorative heaps of stone is known from the Scriptures and other ancient writings to have been a custom of the greatest antiquity? a. Dolmen c. Cairns b. Pylon d. Cromlech

7. A menhir is a huge stone standing vertically in the ground. Such stones are usually standing in the middle of a field or arranged in rows, which shows that they were transferred to where they are. The piece of stone stuck in the ground is often a fifth to a quarter of its overall height. The average height of these stones is nine meters. If menhirs are erected typically in rows or striations, how are Cromlechs erected? a. Small groups c. In Rows b. In Circles d. Lone-stones 8. The term "prehistory" was coined by French scholars, referring to the time before people recorded history in writing. This is the longest period in the past of modern man (homo sapiens) that lasted about 400,000 years. Prehistory is not associated with a particular place or time. Due to lack of written documentation, prehistoric research is based on remains which are used as evidence. What is the earliest known human settlement? a. Bone Huts c. Tents b. Mud Huts d. Rock Caves 9. What Principle form of construction where huge stone blocks were assembled without mortar in basic structural configurations that are still used today? Sometimes blocks were set-up merely to rest against each other. a. Megalithic c. Monolithic b. Post and Lintel d. Trabeated 10. A system in which two upright members hold up a third member laid horizontally across their top surfaces. All structural openings have evolved from this system, which is seen in pure form only in colonnades and in framed structures, because the posts of doors, windows, ceilings, and roofs normally form part of the wall. a. Arc c. Post and Lintel b. Dolmen d. Cromlech

Prehistoric Period:
1. Stone age Paleolithic (Old Stone Age)- appeared first in Africa and are marked by the steady development of stone tools Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age)- period of the Stone Age intermediate between the Paleolithic and the Neolithic periods, characterized by adaptation to hunting, collecting, and fishing economy based on the use of forest, lakeside, and seashore environments. Neolithic (New Stone Age) - characterized by the development of agriculture and the making of polished stone implements. 2. Bronze Age 3. Iron Age

Prehistoric Architecture may be classified under:


1. M o n o l i t h s , o r s i n g l e u p r i g h t s t o n e s , a l s o k n o w n a s m e n h i r s , a w e l l - k n o w n e x a m p l e 6 3 f e e t h i g h , 1 4 f e e t i n diameter, and weighing 260 tons, being at Carnac, Brittany. Another example is at Locmariaker, also in Brittany. 2. D o l m e n s ( D a u l , a t a b l e , a n d m a e n , a s t o n e ) , c o n s i s t i n g o f one large flat stone supported by upright stones. Examples are to be found near Maidstone and other places in England,

53

a l s o i n Ireland, Northern France, the Channel Islands, Italy and India. 3. C r o m l e c h s , o r c i r c l e s o f s t o n e , a s a t S t o n e h e n g e , A v e b u r y ( W i l t s ) , a n d e l s e w h e r e , c o n s i s t i n g o f a series of upright stones arranged in a circle and supporting horizontal slabs. 4. Tumuli, or burial mounds, were probably prototypes of the Pyramids of Egypt and the beehive huts found in Wales, Cornwall, Ireland and elsewhere. That at New Grange (Ireland) resembles somewhat t h e Treasury of Atreus at Mycenae. 5. Lake Dwellings, as discovered in the lakes of Switzerland, Italy and Ireland consisted of wooden huts supported on piles, and were so placed for protection against hostile attacks of all kinds.
