Unit 1. The Art of Architecture 

Pre-text exercises 

1. Guess the meaning of the following internationalisms. 

Construction, civilization, practical, culture, communication, 
expressive, primitive, function, architecture, institution, characteristic, 
human, idea, form, constant, social, natural, monumental, element, hall. 

Internationalisms are words which sound very similar or even 
identical in several languages as the word from which they originate. 
Unlike false cognates they have the same meaning. 

For example: park, plan, centre, ornament, style. 

2. Form nouns, using the following suffixes and translate them: 

-tion: constitute, civilize, institute, organize, communicate, recognize; 

-ty: realize, activate, continue, stabilize, secure, unite;  

-ment: establish, develop, require, arrange, settle. 

3. Match the pairs of synonyms (A) and opposites (B): 

(A) building; importance; primitive; the simplest; man; to possess; 
structure; to have; a work of architecture; a human being; concern. 

(B) primitive; general; more; civilized; less; with; particular; without.  

4. Read the text. Tell about the main functions of architecture. 

Architecture is the art and the technique of building, employed to fulfil 
the practical and expressive requirements of civilized people. Almost every 
settled society that possesses the techniques for building produces 
architecture. It is necessary in all but the simplest cultures; without it, man 
is confined to a primitive struggle with the elements; with it, he has not only 
a defence against the natural environment but also the benefits of a human 
environment, a prerequisite for the development of civilized institutions. 

The characteristics that distinguish a work of architecture from other 
man-made structures are (1) the suitability of the work to use by human 
beings in general and the adaptability of it to particular human activities, 
(2) the stability and permanence of the work's construction, and (3) the 
communication of experience and ideas through its form. 
All these conditions must be met in architecture. The second is a 
constant, while the first and the third vary in relative importance 
according to the social function of buildings. If the function is chiefly 
utilitarian, as in a factory, communication is of less importance. If the 
function is chiefly expressive, as in a monumental tomb, utility is a minor 
concern. In some buildings such as churches and city halls, utility and 
communication may be of equal importance.

Unit 2. Architectural Planning 

Pre-text exercises

2.  These are false cognates. Translate them and memorize their meaning.

False cognates are words in two languages that look or sound 
similar but differ significantly in meaning. These similarities can 
confuse language learners and often cause errors. 

For example: concrete – бетон, а не только конкретный; 

fabric – ткань, текстура, а не фабрика. 

3.  Use these prefixes and suffixes to form a) verbs; b) nouns; 

c) adjectives:  

with-: draw, hold, stand; 

dis-: advantage, appearance, approval, comfort, order;

Absorb, dark, receive, advantage, intensify, dryness, useful, 
unsuccessful, high, dependent, moisture, useless, reflect, collective, 
disadvantage, reduce, individual, low, independent, give, light, successful.  

Antonym is a word or phrase which meaning is the opposite of 

another word or phrase. For example: bold, confident – timid, shy – 

смелый, уверенный – робкий, застенчивый; bright, colorful – dull, 

colorless – яркий, красочный – тусклый, бесцветный. 

5. 
Read the text. Give your reasons that the architect must possess the 

knowledge in different sciences. 

The architect usually begins to work when the site type and cost of a 
building have been determined.
