Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In building typology and urban morphology, we examine how the forms, shapes, and structure of the city emerge from the typologies of buildings themselves. The prompt asks us to identify the statement that is not true in explaining how typological features shape urban morphology.

The provided option says: 'The structural technology adopted in the construction of the building.' This focuses on construction methods and materials, which influence engineering performance, durability, and construction practices, but are not primary drivers of the typological features—such as massing, façade composition, planar organization, or the layout of streets and blocks—that constitute urban morphology. In other words, structural technology is more about how a building is built rather than what the building’s typology communicates about urban form. Therefore, treating this as a defining typological feature that shapes urban morphology is misleading, making this statement the exception.

If we were evaluating other typological factors (for example, building height, footprint, setbacks, facade rhythm, residential versus commercial uses, or the arrangement of plots and street networks), these would more directly relate to the morphology of the urban fabric. Since those types of features are typically central to morphology, they would be considered true explanations of how typology shapes urban form, whereas construction technology sits outside the core typological dimension.

Thus, the statement about the structural technology adopted in construction stands out as the non-typology-based factor among potential explanations of urban morphology.
