Buildings & The Ideas Behind Them
Ten questions on the structures and movements that shaped the built world, each with the idea behind the design.
About this topic
Most people can recognise far more architecture than they can name. This quiz supplies the labels: the styles, the landmark buildings, the architects whose work set the terms for everyone after them. It also covers the engineering that made certain forms possible at all, since the skyscraper is as much a lift problem as a design one. The explanations link each style to the problem it set out to solve, which makes them far easier to tell apart afterwards.
