Refer to the exhibit (photo showing diagonal cracks in a wall).
The structural damage evident in the photograph illustrates a classic example of failure due to which of the following?
Refer to the exhibit (lighting fixtures with Kelvin temperatures and CRI values).
An architect is evaluating downlighting for a new restaurant. The owner requests the lighting cast a warm light, be energy efficient, and allow for the colors of the chef's food to accurately appear while guests are seated.
What fixture manufacturer satisfies the owner's request?
An architect's client is focused on lighting energy savings and daylighting design in a new 3,000 ft² commercial building addition to expand showroom and office square footage. The client requests reasonable daylighting measures in the design.
What should the architect recommend to the client?
A site has been engineered with a 1:20 grade.
Which of the following sidewalk designs would be the most cost-effective way to get from the top to the bottom and still be in compliance with the accessibility standards?
An architect is selecting a mechanical system for the first floor of a hotel in a temperate climate. They must consider the following:
• The building footprint covers 95% of the small urban site.
• The first floor has an open floor plan that includes a lobby, bar, and restaurant.
• The plan can only accommodate one 500 sf mechanical room.
What mechanical system should the architect recommend?
In the design of a project, the architect should do which of the following in order to respond to the requirements imposed by governmental authorities that have jurisdiction over the project?
An architect has just received client approval of the Schematic Design documents for a three-story, outpatient medical clinic. The clinic is located within a mixed-use development governed by
a City-approved Planned Development (PD) document. The medical clinic design utilizes standardized departmental layouts and includes outpatient clinics, as well as treatment spaces,
administrative spaces and public/lobby spaces.
The site needs to accommodate four different vehicular traffic flows: patient traffic, staff traffic, service and delivery traffic, and emergency services traffic. In addition, a pedestrian plaza
must connect to the mixed-use development sidewalks. The plaza must provide space for bicycle parking and will serve as the future bus stop.
The site design addresses several challenges related to building orientation. The southeast facade, with excellent visibility from the highway, is the location of all service equipment. The
building entrance faces northwest, convenient to the parking but not visible from the highway.
The client believes future patient volumes will outgrow the clinic. The PD document allows for a planned Phase 2 development on the adjacent vacant site to the southwest. Phase 2 would
include a second building (2 story, 80,000 BGSF) and/or a parking deck.
Other considerations for the project include:
Protected tree requirements are defined in the PD document.
Easy pedestrian access must be provided from Sycamore Boulevard.
All required parking for the clinic must be accommodated on site.
Programmed area includes 109,450 Departmental Gross Square Feet (DGSF) / 130,184 Building Gross Square Feet (BGSF).
Exterior material percentages are dictated by the PD document and shall not exceed specific percentages for Primary and Secondary Finishes.
All service equipment needs to be screened; see PD document for restrictions.
Signage opportunities are important to the client.
Acoustical privacy is a concern of the healthcare system.

The architect and civil engineer are coordinating the design of the proposed pedestrian plaza fronting along Sycamore Boulevard and reviewing estimates for the cost of street trees. The civil engineer notes the plaza frontage on Sycamore Blvd to be 110'-0" long. Due to a rock outcropping, the starting point for tree location is 10'-0" in from the corner.
The landscape regulations of the planned development and the street tree cost estimates are as follows:
'Cathedral' Live Oak: $250 per tree
Allee Elm: $200 per tree
American Holly: $125 per tree
What is the minimum cost for street trees along the frontage described?
