4. Aqueducts were first constructed by

A. Indians
B. Egyptians
C. Romans
D. Greeks
Aquaducts
1 aqueducts are structures used to conduct a

water stream across a hollow or valley
2 The engineers who designed them used gravity

to keep the water moving. If the channel was
too steep, water would run too quickly and
wear out the surface. Too shallow, and water
would stagnate and become undrinkable. The
Romans built tunnels to get water through
ridges, and bridges to cross valleys.
3 Once it reached a city, the water flowed into a main

tank called a castellum. Smaller pipes took the water
to the secondary castella, and from those the water
flowed through lead pipes to public fountains and
baths, and even to some private homes. It took 500
years to build Rome’s massive system

Villa
Villas were upper class country estates built by Romans. They
were designed to be self sufficient, and were surrounded by
buildings like outhouses, gardens, storage warehouses, and
farmlands.
Roman Tuscan villa style spread through Europe during the
renaissance. These villas were built more for leisure. Nowadays
the term is loosely used to mean anything from semi-detached
house to a luxurious home.
The term Bungalow is derived from Indian word ‘Bungalo’ for

houses built in Bengal style. This style was adopted by the
British for building their summer retreats during the colonial
rule, and carried to Europe and USA where it become popular
during the arts and crafts movement.
Bungalows are generally low single storied houses (with an
occasional smaller second floor built into the roof) with wide
porches, verandahs and sloping roofs with deep overhangs.
Bungalows
Cottage
The term cottage was used in England (and probably derived
from French and German language) to mean farmer’s homes.
They were quaint, modest, cozy and practical homes in rural
areas.
They generally have tiled sloping roofs. Nowadays they are
used to mean vacation homes built near water bodies or in
forest areas and urban homes built in traditional cottage style
with a rustic feel. In Alpine regions they are also known as
Chalets, and are made of wood with heavy sloping roofs with
wide eves.
Detached Housing
www.archgenesis.com
A stand-alone house (also called a single-detached

dwelling, detached residence or detached house) is
a free-standing residential building. It is sometimes
referred to as a single-family home
Row Housing
A row house can be defined as a single-family dwelling unit
arranged in a row.
The first and the last of these houses are usually more
extensive than the middle ones.
They have a uniform plan, fenestration and architectural
treatment
Le Corbusier included row houses as part of industrial
housing in the planned city of Chandigarh. However, with
increasing population and land values, high-density
apartment developments have become the norm in most
Indian metros.
