1. In what way do certain elements or principles identify the time period in which a structure was created?
Certain elements or principles were more common and prevalent during certain time periods. This can be seen by the common use of domed roofs in historical churches. Or the texture given by older material vs newer material.
2. What factors might account for an incorrect identification?
Emulation of past designs might give a false sense of time periods for buildings. This can also be seen from advanced erosion of the building’s façade or interior.
3. Describe an example of a way that design principles and elements could impact the function of a building.
Certain principles or elements are more conducive to different outcome in functionality. This can be seen in different color schemes being used for certain environments, and different forms and shapes of the rooms.
