Answer: 1. Fall Down
Explanation: In one world I've developed, the local surface gravity is slightly more than three times the surface gravity on Earth. Humans settled this world and were doing quite well through highly advanced technology. A series of disasters removed that technology and even the knowledge of that technology. More than 800 Earth-years later, civilization has started to regain a semblance of Western civilization on Earth.
Gravity introduces a lot of stress on structures and, with a gravitational factor like my world, may be the primary motivator in design. While I generally gloss over the specifics of cities and structures, I would like to know the following:
1. What are the best (known) building materials for a high-gravity environment?
2. What are the best architectural constructs for a high-gravity environment? (e.g., arches, peaked or flat roofs)
3. Considering the safety concerns and additional stressors, is ornamentation a viable feature for structures in a high-gravity environment?
Answer:
The answer is A & B for this one.
I hope I can help! :)
(I do not own the definitions by the way)
Definitions:
Bird's-eye is an elevated view of an object from above, with a perspective as though the observer were a bird, often used in the making of blueprints, floor plans, and maps. It can be an aerial photograph, but also a drawing.
Eye-level is the axis around which a perspective drawing is constructed. When we are outdoors we use the horizon as a point of reference to judge the scale and distance of objects in relation to us. In perspective drawing, the horizon also happens to be the viewer's eye-level.
High-angle shot is a cinematic technique where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle and the point of focus often gets "swallowed up." High-angle shots can make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects.
Low-angle is a shot from a camera angle positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. Sometimes, it is even directly below the subject's feet. Psychologically, the effect of the low-angle shot is that it makes the subject look strong and powerful.
To answer your question, the answer would be low-angle!
Have a great day/evening/night! :)
Let me know if you have any additional questions!
