What is the etymology of the word Gothic?

The word "gothic" was first applied to pre-Renaissance architecture (especially churches) to mean crude and unsophisticated. The Goths were a Germanic tribe prominent in the fall of Rome. Later it was applied to the particular medieval style in art and design, and to a genre of romantic literature based on dark or horror themes.

What materials are used when building an architectural model?

Architectural models can be made from a variety of materials, such as card stock, balsa wood, plastics, foam board, or urethane compounds. More recently, 3D printers have become popular for creating more intricate details.

Is there only one answer to a question?

A question may be either an expression used to make a request for information, or else the request itself made by such an expression. Not all questions have answers . While some questions have concrete, verifiable answers. (e.g: Is the sun hot?), some do not. eg) Did Julius ceaser like his eggs scrambled, boiled or sunny-side up? Any answer to this question, would not be an answer per se, but an assumed, unverifiable answer, meaning it is not an answer at all but just an opinion being voiced, therefore the question asked, although answered, is not answered. So conclusively, any answer given to said question will not answer the question therefore the question will remain un-answerable although answers might be given. so to answer your question, Opinions can and always will be given to any question asked, however, they might not always qualify as answers.

What kind of flashing is used on a roof dormer?

A dormer is a small piece of roof that projects from or is not in plane with the main roof plane. It has a junction with the main roof and this junction is where the flashing is required.

Dormers can vary in shape, so the exact form of flashing required will vary. The type of flashing also depends on the roofing material, and whether the same material is on the main roof and the dormer roof.

If the main roof plane and the dormer are of the same material, the flashing can usually be the same as used on a similar junction of the main roof.

Important parts of a basic flashing are:

* it laps from under the upper or higher roof cladding so that water will run down onto it from the higher cladding, and it laps over the lower roof cladding so that water running down it will run onto the lower cladding, rather than underneath the lower cladding. Flashings that run parallel to the fall of the roof are a little different but follow the same principle: look at the path the water will follow. * It is lapped a sufficient distance under and over the cladding to prevent water seeping back. This distance will depend on the roofing material, the material's profile, the strength of wind in the area and the rainfall of the area. * It may also need a return or kickback on the flashing to prevent capillary action or wind driven moisture. Flashing materials must be compatible with the roofing material. Water running over some materials will collect ions that may make materials that this water then runs onto be stained or corrode quickly.

Difference between synchronous bus and asynchronous bus?

1. Syncrhonous bus includes clock in control lines whereas asynchronous bus is not clocked.

2. the devices which need to be connected by synchronous bus should be at same speed whereas an asynchronous bus may connect many devices with varying speeds.

3. A fixed protocol is defined to communicate using synchronous bus which is relative to the clock. An asynchronous bus uses handshaking protocol.

What cathedral is considered one of the finest examples of French gothic architecture?

What is Difference between direct view storage and flat panel display?

"Flat panel" screens refer to any screen that does not have a cathode ray tube, the large glass tube that takes so much depth inside a conventional television. Flat panel screens include plasma, LCD and LED and are normally about 5 inches deep. Wide screen describes the shape of the screen. Conventional screens are a ratio of 4 wide to 3 high. Widescreen normally refers to a ratio of 16 wide by 9 high although there are other ratios that can be described as widescreen as well. Flat panel screens and CRTs come in 4 : 3 and 16 : 9 formats. Flat panel is a thin television, widescreen is what most HDTVs are. Widescreen is basically a movie style screen. It's a lot wider than it is high.

What skills and abilities do you need to become an architect?
