What this architecture quiz measures
This architecture quiz estimates self-reported design literacy. Twenty original agree-disagree items group into design principles, famous styles, structural basics, and urban context following introductory architectural history themes. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your architecture literacy index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed recall on this screener, not professional licensing.
Design principles
Balance, proportion, rhythm, and movement through space.
Famous styles
Gothic, modernism, brutalism, and vernacular cues.
Structural basics
Loads, columns, beams, and facade versus structure.
Urban context
Street scale, plazas, transit, and public comfort.
