    When lines, planes, and surface treatments are repeated in a regular sequence.

    • Balance

    • Rhythm

    • Contrast

    • Proportion

    Correct Answer
    A. Rhythm
    Explanation
    Rhythm refers to the repetition of lines, planes, or surface treatments in a regular sequence. It creates a sense of movement and flow in a design. In this context, when these elements are repeated in a regular sequence, it creates a rhythm in the design. Balance is the distribution of visual weight in a composition, contrast is the juxtaposition of different elements, and proportion is the relationship between different parts of a design. None of these concepts specifically relate to the repetition of lines, planes, and surface treatments in a regular sequence, making rhythm the correct answer.

It is important in architecture and design as it helps create spaces that are comfortable and accessible for people. By considering human scale, designers can ensure that buildings and spaces are not too overwhelming or too small for individuals to navigate and interact with. Human scale also helps create a sense of harmony and balance between the built environment and the people who use it.

    With respect to an observer

    • Size

    • Orientation

    • Visual inertia

    • Position

    Correct Answer
    A. Visual inertia
    Explanation
    Visual inertia refers to the tendency of an object to appear to continue moving in the same direction even after it has stopped. This phenomenon occurs because our visual system takes some time to process changes in motion. Therefore, when an object suddenly stops, our brain still perceives it as moving for a brief period. This can create an illusion of motion or cause us to misjudge the position or direction of an object. In the context of the given question, visual inertia is a relevant factor to consider when assessing the perception of an object's movement or motion.
