Question

Match the architects in Group I with their key architectural ideas in Group II. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline Group I & Group II
\hline (P) \ \text{Ludwig Mies van der Rohe} & (1) \ \text{Bowellism}
(Q) \ \text{Kisho Kurokawa} & (2) \ \text{Skin-and-bones architecture}
(R) \ \text{Richard Rogers} & (3) \ \text{Served and servant spaces}
(S) \ \text{Louis I. Kahn} & (4) \ \text{Dymaxion}
& (5) \ \text{Metabolism}
\hline \end{array} \]

• A. P-2, Q-5, R-1, S-3
• B. P-4, Q-1, R-3, S-5
• C. P-2, Q-1, R-5, S-3
• D. P-4, Q-5, R-1, S-2

Hint:

When solving architecture matching questions, recall each architect's signature concept: Mies for minimalism, Kurokawa for Metabolism, Rogers for Bowellism, and Kahn for Served–Servant spaces.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
He is famous for the principle "Less is More" and introduced the concept of Skin-and-bones architecture, emphasizing minimalism and structural clarity. \[ P \Rightarrow 2 \]

Step 2: Kisho Kurokawa.
He was one of the founders of the Japanese Metabolism movement in architecture, which promoted adaptable and flexible buildings. \[ Q \Rightarrow 5 \]

Step 3: Richard Rogers.
He is best known for Lloyd's Building in London, where all ducts and pipes are placed outside → a style called Bowellism. \[ R \Rightarrow 1 \]

Step 4: Louis I. Kahn.
He introduced the architectural idea of Served and servant spaces, separating primary functional areas from secondary service areas. \[ S \Rightarrow 3 \] \[ \boxed{P-2, \ Q-5, \ R-1, \ S-3} \]
