Practice Architecture MCQs, PYQs, Planning, Structures, Building Materials, and Government Architecture Exam questions with instant answers and real exam-level practice. Occupancy rate refers to the number of persons per habitable rooms number of persons working in an office number of person-habitable rooms per unit area number of person-habitable rooms per acre Occupancy rate in housing statistics typically measures crowding by dividing household population by the number of habitable rooms (rooms suitable for living/sleeping). It indicates average persons per room and helps assess overcrowding and housing adequacy. Other measures (persons per unit area, persons per habitable rooms per acre) are different density or intensity metrics. Occupancy rate informs policy on housing shortages, health risks, and minimum dwelling standards. High occupancy rates suggest insufficient housing stock or large household sizes; planners use it to prioritize interventions, allocate subsidies, and design dwelling- size norms for future residential development. Industrialization and rapid urbanization have created rural depopulation urban generation rural regeneration urban decay Industrialization and rapid urbanization draw labor, especially young and skilled workers, from rural areas to cities seeking employment, education and services. This migration produces rural depopulation: shrinking village populations, labor shortages in agriculture, demographic aging in remaining rural communities, and declining economic vitality in some countryside areas. While urban centers grow economically and physically, rural regions may face abandoned houses, reduced services, and weakened local markets. Policy responses include rural development programs, decentralization, rural employment schemes and investment in infrastructure/education to make rural livelihoods viable and slow excessive migration that undermines balanced regional development. Which one of the following forms of settlement develops along either side of roads, rivers or canals? Cross-shaped Square Linear Circular A linear settlement is characterized by development arranged along a linear feature — typically a road, river, canal, or valley corridor. Housing, shops and services align sequentially along the transport or waterway axis to exploit access, communication, trade and drainage advantages. Linear forms often arise where geography constrains expansion (e.g., river valleys, coastal strips) or where transportation nodes dominate growth. They contrast with nucleated (clustered) or dispersed settlements. Linear settlements facilitate easy movement of goods and people along the axis but can be vulnerable to congestion and limited lateral expansion; planners must consider access controls, services distribution, and connectivity when dealing with such patterns. The Pritzker Prize, 2021 has been awarded to Francis Kere Balkrishan Doshi Anne Lacation and Jean Philippe Vassal Frei Otto The 2021 Pritzker Architecture Prize honored the French duo Anne Lacation and Jean-Philippe Vassal for a body of work that emphasizes reuse, affordability, generosity of space, and humane design. They are well known for their adaptive-reuse projects and social housing refurbishments where they prioritized light, thermal comfort and resident dignity rather than demolition. Their work argues for sustaining and improving existing buildings with minimal resources, focusing on incremental, cost-effective transformations that yield significant social and environmental benefits. The award recognized their consistent advocacy for architecture as a public good and their commitment to pragmatic, low-impact interventions that improve everyday life. The settlement of the Gangetic plain may be called isolated settlement clustered settlement dry point settlement wet point settlement A wet-point settlement develops where water is readily available in otherwise drier surrounding areas — for example, on river banks, floodplains, or near springs. The Gangetic Plain, with abundant surface water and a high water table, supports dense, clustered agriculture-based habitations that locate where soils are fertile and water accessible. Dry- point settlements form on slightly raised or flood-safe spots in wet regions; isolated or dispersed settlements occur in marginal lands. Thus settlements in the Gangetic alluvium, driven by irrigation, perennial rivers and good soils, are typically described as wet-point or water-oriented settlements, explaining the region’s high rural density and intensive cultivation.
