70. Illustration above is a plan and perspective view of the corner wall. Identify the correct effect that are introduced and emphasized for each of the articulation/ configuration?

Explanation

The correct effect that is introduced and emphasized for each of the articulation/configuration is that it weakens the definition of the volume within the form but emphasizes the planar qualities of the neighboring surfaces. This means that the corner wall design reduces the clear definition of the volume within the form, making it less distinct, while highlighting the flat qualities of the surrounding surfaces.

72. Andrea Palladio also proposed several methods for determining the height of a room so that it would be in proper proportion to the room's width and length. Which are NOT the correct proportion for the ceiling height?

Explanation

Andrea Palladio proposed several methods for determining the height of a room in proper proportion to its width and length. According to his principles, the height of rooms with flat ceilings would equal their width, the height of square rooms with vaulted ceilings would be one-third greater than their width. However, the height of circular rooms with vaulted ceilings would not be one-half greater than their diameter. This means that the correct proportion for the ceiling height in circular rooms with vaulted ceilings is not the same as Palladio's other proposals.
