Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Gordon Cullen's "serial vision" concept in urban design refers to the way in which the visual experience of a place unfolds as one moves through it. It is about creating a series of changing views, scenes, and experiences that enhance the feeling of place. This idea plays a significant role in the design of monumental spaces such as Rashtrapati Bhavan, which uses its grand approach to create a visual narrative as one approaches the building. In this context:
- Serial Vision refers to how the viewer's experience is shaped by sequential visual scenes.
- Rashtrapati Bhavan exemplifies this principle as its approach creates a gradual revelation of the building's grandeur.
Thus, (A) Serial Vision is the correct answer.
