Architecture appears in quizzes as a picture round more often than as a written one, but the underlying knowledge is the same: recognising a style, naming a building, and knowing who designed it and when.
Styles, in the order they are asked
Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, Neoclassical, Art Deco, Brutalist and Modernist cover nearly every style question a general quiz will ask. Each has two or three identifying features that are the actual answer — the pointed arch and flying buttress for Gothic, the round arch for Romanesque, exposed concrete for Brutalism — and setters ask for the feature as often as the name.
The distinction that catches people is Gothic versus Gothic Revival, which are eight hundred years apart and look deliberately similar. A great many famous "Gothic" buildings in Britain are Victorian.
Buildings and their architects
A small canon does most of the work: St Paul's and Wren, the Sydney Opera House and Utzon, the Eiffel Tower, the Burj Khalifa, the Guggenheims, the Sagrada Família and Gaudí. For each, setters ask the architect, the city, the year and — increasingly — the record it held or holds.
Records are their own seam: tallest building by decade, longest span, oldest in continuous use. They change, so a quiz written three years ago may be marked from a three-year-old answer. The speed the Empire State was built, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Hoover Dam and the bridge that shook itself apart are the engineering questions that sit alongside them.
