7. Why the bye-laws insist the set-backs surrounding the buildings?
Ans: To have the provision for the in-flow of sufficient natural lighting and ventilation into the building and also to protect the easement rights of the neighbours.
8. Why bye-laws insist maximum set-back surrounding the building for high-rise buildings?

9. What is “Intelligent Building”?
Ans: The Building which automatically controls the consumption of natural/ artificial energy resources to the required level of the needs and comforts.
10. What are “Private Scale” and “Public Scale” in Architecture?
Ans: The size and proportions of the elements adopted for the residential buildings and the public buildings is known as “Private Scale” and “Public Scale” respectively.
11. What are the parameters for fixing the volume of the room?
Ans: Furniture / equipment to be placed and the number of persons to be occupied. The air-changes required as per the occupancy load will derive the height / volume of the room.
12. In which climatic conditions, sloping roofs are essential?
Ans: In the regions, where there is frequent rainfall and snow-fall.
13. What is Horizontal and Vertical circulation area and how much it will be?
Ans: The area of verandahs, passages, corridors, balconies, porches etc. is called Horizontal circulation area and this may be 10 - 15% of the plinth area of the building. Vertical circulation area of a building is the area or space occupied by staircase & lifts and this may be 4 - 5% of the plinth area of the building.
14. What do you mean by AutoCAD?
Ans: It is Computer Aided Drafting software.
15. What is the ‘going’ of step and how much it should be?
Ans: The run of a step in a stair or the width of the tread between two successive treads and min width should be 250 mm.
16. How many types of perspectives can be drawn and what are they?
Ans: There are three types of perspectives
a. One point
b. Two point
c. Three point
17. To construct any building, what are the minimum drawings required?
Ans: Minimum drawings required for constructing any building or structure is Plan, Elevations (all sides) and Cross-sections.

Ans: Isometric (30 degrees from the base), Axonometric (45 degrees from the base) & Perspective (30 and 60 degrees from the base).
19. Where should the North point be indicated in a drawing sheet?
Ans: It should be indicated on the Right hand top corner on a drawing sheet.
20. How will you present a two-dimensional surface with three dimensional effects?
Ans: Two-dimensional object with Sciography will have the effect of three dimensional appearances.

25. What are the advantages of the plaster-groves in the elevation?
Ans: Groves in the plaster offer the following advantages:
a. Confine the plaster-cracks within
b. Define the boundaries for differentiating the surface finish/ colour
c. Add visual effect of horizontality or verticality
