describing decisions architects make
according to the video, what are some decisions that architects make? select four options.
□ how much money a building will be worth when finished
□ what traffic patterns people will follow
□ how people will feel when they enter or leave a building
□ how many laborers are needed for a project
□ where to put doors, walls, and windows
□ what building materials to use
□ which people will be allowed to enter a building

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on an architect's role:

1. "how much money a building will be worth when finished" - Architects don't determine building value (real estate/valuation experts do). Eliminate.
2. "what traffic patterns people will follow" - Architects design spaces that influence traffic patterns (e.g., layout of corridors, entrances). Valid.
3. "how people will feel when they enter or leave a building" - Architects consider aesthetics, flow, and ambiance to impact user experience. Valid.
4. "how many laborers are needed for a project" - This is a contractor/construction manager's role. Eliminate.
5. "where to put doors, walls, and windows" - Architects design the spatial layout of buildings. Valid.
6. "what building materials to use" - Architects select materials based on design, durability, aesthetics, etc. Valid.
7. "which people will be allowed to enter a building" - Access control is a security/management role, not architectural. Eliminate.

So the valid options are the ones about traffic patterns, user feelings, spatial layout (doors/walls/windows), and building materials.

Answer:

• what traffic patterns people will follow
• how people will feel when they enter or leave a building
• where to put doors, walls, and windows
• what building materials to use
