Preview Questions Landscape Architect | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the primary benefit of incorporating native plants into landscape design?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

They require minimal maintenance and enhance local biodiversity

They are less resistant to drought conditions

They offer a more aesthetically pleasing design

They are cheaper and easier to acquire

Question 2: How does the concept of "transit-oriented development" (TOD) relate to zoning regulations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

TOD zoning eliminates the need for parking regulations

TOD zoning promotes dense development around transit hubs while prioritizing walkability

TOD zoning limits development around transit hubs to low-density buildings

TOD zoning encourages the building of only commercial spaces near transit hubs

Question 3: What is the role of vegetation in controlling erosion during site development?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It helps reduce the cost of construction

It filters pollutants from stormwater

It stabilizes the soil with root systems

It provides aesthetic value only

Question 4: How can landscape architects address the environmental challenges posed by climate change in urban areas?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By reducing the amount of green space and increasing building density

By incorporating climate-resilient plants, using water-efficient systems, and creating spaces that reduce the urban heat island effect

By using non-native plants that require more water and resources

By ignoring environmental challenges and focusing on aesthetics

Question 5: How does solar orientation impact the design of sustainable outdoor spaces?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Solar orientation increases the use of artificial lighting in outdoor spaces

Solar orientation is not relevant in landscape design, as it only affects indoor spaces

Proper solar orientation optimizes natural lighting and heating, reducing the need for artificial energy use

Solar orientation solely impacts plant growth and does not affect energy efficiency

Question 6: What does "biophilic design" emphasize in landscape architecture?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Integrating natural elements into the built environment

Minimizing the presence of plant species

Increasing the use of concrete and asphalt

Creating fully sustainable designs with zero energy consumption
