Question

Match the plan forms in Group I with their corresponding project names in Group II. 
 

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

Hint:

Always match iconic architectural forms with their signature plan shapes—Apple Park (circle), Commerzbank (triangle), Dhaka Parliament (radial–geometric), and Egypt Parliament (tri-lobed).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To match the plan forms correctly, we identify the architectural geometry associated with each famous project:

(P) Triangular Plan → (3) Commerzbank, Frankfurt
Commerzbank Tower by Norman Foster features a triangular footprint with a central atrium and sky gardens placed in a rotated triangular layout. The triangular inner void seen in the plan diagram corresponds exactly to the high-rise's characteristic plan geometry.

(Q) Radial / Pinwheel Form → (5) Parliament Building, Dhaka
Louis Kahn's National Parliament Building (Dhaka) is known for its striking geometric masses arranged around a central assembly hall. Its plan is a combination of radial projections, octagonal forms, and linear arms—matching the pinwheel-type graphic shown. Hence (Q) → (5).

(R) Y-shaped / Tri-lobed Plan → (1) New Parliament of Egypt, Cairo
The New Egyptian Parliament complex uses a three-armed, tri-lobed geometry with a central core, similar to the plan shown for (R). This Y-shaped symmetry reflects the new governmental masterplan's organization around a monumental central dome.

(S) Concentric Circular Plan → (2) Apple Park Campus, California
Apple Park famously features a perfect circular "ring building" designed by Foster + Partners. Its plan consists of concentric circles with an inner courtyard—identical to the ring-shaped plan shown in (S). Hence (S) → (2).

Thus the correct complete matching is: \[ P-3,\ Q-5,\ R-1,\ S-2, \] which corresponds to option (D).
