Oh I forgot about the course name. This course is History of Architecture Typology. There is fourteen chapters. Unfortunately, I have to memorize all of those chapters. So unlucky me. So, if it's just not me, you will learn together with me in here about a plenty of typologies in architecture, maybe not really detail. First, we have to know about the meaning of typology itself. Followed by, the typologies consist of Dwelling and Inn, Education, Religious Place, Commercial, Recreation, Theater, Health Facilities, Office Building, Industrial Building, Museum, Transportation, and Sports. In this post, I just want to explain what questions that appeared in tests, according to my limited memory.
What is the meaning of typology in architecture? Why should we learn about this? What is the benefit of learning this?

Those question appeared in both test. We have to answer according to our opinion. In my opinion, typology is a knowledge study about types or classification, in domain of design architecture, it's about types of building. This course may help you to learn deeply suitable your design. Not only the meaning of typology itself but also about history, function, stakeholders, issues, configuration, features, design process, trend, and principles. So, I don't know how the lecturer evaluated me, maybe my answer just almost right, and he decided as a wrong answer.
Hotel or Apartment issues?
I found this question but I passed it because I can't answer properly. Design issues of hotel specification in urban hotel case, in my notes was said this..
1 guest room standard = 1 room bay = 1 room key
1 suite room = 1 1/2 - 2 room bay = 1 room key
but I don't know the meaning of those, even I heard the lecturer explain this, but I still don't know, So, if you know please help me answer this.
Besides that, design issues of apartment specification, there is one typology called 2LDK ( two bedroom, living room, dining, kitchen). When design an apartment we have to maximize rentable area, minimize unrentable area, make a penthouse, and have a social features.

- Station from beginning until to destination: it process passenger who start or end fly in a large amount, has a long time to stay in the plane, the primary of passenger flow is from fly mode system to land mode system, so it has a high requirement for backyard, ticket facility, baggage, and parking.
- Transfer station: it needs a larger open space facility for processing the passenger who will move to the next flying, it's not need land mode system facility, ticket, either handling baggage rather than the classification before.
- Direct station: the percentage of passenger who stay in fly mode is larger, the time for land mode is smaller, waiting room for departing is not big, and handling baggage facility is not big too.

Well, that's the questions and answers. If you want to more detail, just wait, I'll be post the detail maybe not in a short time because I took twelve hours for writing this while downloading something. If you want a request from one of those chapters, I'll be writing that as soon as I could. There is so... many of lecture should I share with you besides this. The reference is from miscellaneous book, source web, and lecture notes. I'm really sorry if there is misunderstand and mistaken word or sentence, suggestion and criticize will accepted well.
