1. Explain the following terms in relation to landscape architecture: parterre, Genius loci, tabula rasa, tacit knowing
2. Compare between landscape design as modern professional practice and Landscape design in history. Provide examples.
3. Compare between the French and English landscape design in the history.
Include names of pioneer in the field.
4. Explain the different of built environment and non-built environment in relation to landscape Architecture.
5. Use your imagination and design the land using only earth. Play with the topography in order to create spaces and corridors. You have a story you want to tell in these spaces. Your words are spaces and paths. Each space or path conveys a message, an image, or a feeling. Through the sequence of spaces, the story will be told. There are no restrictions what so ever to limit your imagination. Only be logical and sensitive. Do the sketch/ sketches in 2 scale. Write any principles you are using in your design related to land form.
The objective of the design problem is to show how you are dealing with the land form; a unique or distinguished design is not required here.

Hello for a laboratory experiment we used strain gauges to measure the internal pressure of a coke can. Our instructor told us one of the sources of error would be not aligning the gauges perfectly. Why would this cause error in the experiment? Is there any other sources of error as well.

You are a project manager. Attached you have a project definition provided by a Project Owner. You have assisted the owner in developing a brief scope based on the project objective. From this limited scope you are to create a design proposal as an architectural(discipline)
1)Why are we doing this project? –Project objective provided by owner
2)What is needed to accomplish the end objective of the project? (plans, specifications, industry standards)
3)What is the cost to complete the project?
4)How much time is required to complete the project design?
5)Who will do the work? (i.e. with personnel in-house, or will it be subcontracted out to another firm)
Your proposal must include the scope of design services offered, the schedule for delivering these design services, and the budget for completing the design services rendered. You may also include basic information about your company including history, qualifications, expertise, and past projects.This information should be a maximum of one page. Please include a graphic such a Gantt(Bar) Chart for a schedule and/or a table for the budget or fee schedule
The Scenario:
Middle School Building Project: The new middle school building includes classrooms, offices and administrative spaces, dining commons with kitchen, and media center. Additional spaces that may be part of the final design include auditorium,gymnasium and athletic fields. Building construction may consist of a multi-story masonry and steel load bearing building with elevated slabs, poured in-place concrete retaining walls and associated underground waterproofing. Exterior finish materials may include brick veneer, aluminum storefront and curtain wall, and aluminum composite wall panels. Interior finish materials may include masonry and drywall partitions, brick veneer, cementitious terrazzo flooring, VCT and carpet tile, and lay-in acoustical tile ceiling. Roofing systems include TPO single ply roof system or standing seam metal roofing system. Building systems include forced air mechanical systems, plumbing, fire protection, electrical, communications, security and data systems. Site construction consists of work on approximately 20 acres, including erosion and sediment control measures, clearing and grubbing, storm water piping and retention ponds, building pad preparation, utilities including a forced main sanitary system, temporary and permanent parking areas and driveways, bus loop, concrete walks, areas of concrete, fencing and other miscellaneous site work.

a) Why the flexural cracks are vertical (perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beam; while shear cracks are inclined with approximately 45 degree from the longitudinal axis of the beam? Explain and discuss.
b) Why the design of rc section has to be carried out in such away to initiate the failure in steel before concrete? Explain and discuss.
c) What are the assumptions used in the reinforced concrete design?

On 25 September 2017, Berlin successfully hosted its 42nd marathon. The 2017 Berlin Marathon consisted of wheelchair/handbiker marathon, skater marathon, and a running marathon. Construct an (AON) Activity on Node diagram on the Berlin marathon. Limit your activities between 20 to 30. You do not need to calculate duration. You do not need to determine the critical path.

In 1900, the magnetic bearing of a line was N 25° 30’ W and the
magnetic declination was 4° 20’ E. In 2020, the magnetic
declination at this location is 1° 15’ E. What is the present
magnetic bearing?
CORRECT ANSWER IS N 22° 25’ W

You are measuring a line with a steel tape that has a
standardized length equal to 100.000 feet and a weight of 2.25 lb.
Three full tape lengths and one partial length were used when
making the measurement, resulting in a recorded length of 389.28
ft. The tape was supported at ends only and a pull of 12 pounds was
used. What is the distance after being corrected for sag?
CORRECT ANSWER IS 389.82ft
