Question

Match the geometric forms in Group I with the buildings in Group II. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline Group I & Group II
\hline (P) \ \text{Hyperboloid} & (1) \ \text{Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, by Cesar Pelli}
(Q) \ \text{Geodesic Dome} & (2) \ \text{Palazzo del Lavoro, Turin, by Pier Luigi Nervi}
(R) \ \text{Diagrid structure} & (3) \ \text{The Biomes at the Eden Project, UK, by Nicholas Grimshaw}
(S) \ \text{Umbrella Structures} & (4) \ \text{Hearst Tower, New York, by Norman Foster}
& (5) \ \text{Cathedral of Brasilia, by Oscar Niemeyer}
\hline \end{array} \]

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

Hint:

Always connect forms to iconic case studies: Hyperboloid → Brasilia Cathedral, Geodesic Dome → Eden Project, Diagrid → Hearst Tower, Umbrella → Palazzo del Lavoro.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Hyperboloid.
The Cathedral of Brasilia by Oscar Niemeyer uses a striking hyperboloid shape. \[ P \Rightarrow 5 \]

Step 2: Geodesic Dome.
The Biomes at the Eden Project in the UK use geodesic dome structures designed by Nicholas Grimshaw. \[ Q \Rightarrow 3 \]

Step 3: Diagrid Structure.
The Hearst Tower, New York by Norman Foster is one of the most famous examples of diagrid structural systems. \[ R \Rightarrow 4 \]

Step 4: Umbrella Structures.
Palazzo del Lavoro, Turin by Pier Luigi Nervi employs umbrella roof structures. \[ S \Rightarrow 2 \] \[ \boxed{P-5, \ Q-3, \ R-4, \ S-2} \]
