How do you prevent a flag from blowing on roof?

What is an architectural rake?
A rake is the portion of roof that extends at a gable-end. Is is similar to an eave. The white portion of this image illustrates a rake. http://www.logikwindows.zoomshare.com/files/gable_end_finished.JPG
As for "architectural rake", it probably has some fancy brackets or woodwork under it to give it some depth on the overhang.
Can you get a master's degree in architecture without an undergraduate degree in architecture?
Yes! However, you do need to have a bachelor's degree in something. There are three different types of Master of Architecture degrees, all of which are accredited. The one you are asking about is known as the 4+3 program, meaning you have a 4-year degree in something else and a 3-year Masters of Architecture.
There is also a 4+2 program for people with a 4-year BA or BS in architecture. Obviously their masters degree is two years long. There is also a 1-year masters degree for people that have an accredited 5-year Bachelor of Architecture degree.

What is the average time for grass seed to germate?
Germination usually occurs within 24 to 48 hours of being planted and moistened. Emergence should occur within 7 to 10 days.
What is stronger aluminum or wood?
This question is more complex than you may think. For one thing, there are many kinds of wood and they do not all have the same strength. Hardwood is stronger than softwood. For another thing, you haven't stated whether we are considering equal weights of aluminum vs. wood, or equal volumes. Aluminum is denser than wood. If you constructed two objects to the same dimensions, building one out of wood and one out of aluminum, the aluminum would be stronger. But if you constructed two objects of equal weight, one of aluminum and one of wood, the wood might be stronger. In addition, there are a number of different ways of measuring the strength of an object, so to really answer this question I would have to know what you were building, and how these alternative aluminum or wooden objects were going to be used. But in general, the strength of these two materials is comparable. Aluminum, however, is going to be more durable, because it is not susceptible to rot or termites, unlike wood.
Are bridge lengths and spans the same thing?
A span on a bridge is the distance between supports such as from pier to pier. A bridge can have several supports over its length. A bridge length includes the entire bridge.

What are Le Corbusier's five points towards a new architecture?
Les 5 Points d' une architecture nouvelle, which Le Corbusier finally formulated in 1926 included (1) the pilotis elevating the mass off the ground, (2) the free plan, achieved through the separation of the load-bearing columns from the walls subdividing the space, (3) the free facade, the corollary of the free plan in the vertical plane, (4) the long horizontal sliding window and finally (5) the roof garden, restoring, supposedly, the area of ground covered by the house. These points were illustrated best in Le Corbusier's domestic architecture. Le Corbusier's first attempt to deal with the problem of mass housing was Maisons Citrohan, designed in 1920-22. All parts of the house are united by a spatial continuum, while the open space created by the pilotis and the flat roof increase the otherwise small available area. The prototype of a single-family unit, which was later modified to a module within a collective building, for example the basic units of the Immeuble-villa (1922).
Le Corbusier established his concept of the dwelling as standardized, mass produced and serviceable like the modern car. Citrohan 2 implies the elements of the Dom-Ino constructural system, that is the use of a reinforced concrete frame. Citrohan 2 introduced ideas of Le Corbusier's '5 Points of New Architecture': the building raised off the ground on pilotis, which 'free' the ground for vehicular circulation and for services. The roof-garden or terrace, which is clearly established in the Citrohan projects as a component of private, domestic space.
The Cook House or Maison Cook in Boulogne-sur-Seine (1926) was a terrace house, an almost perfect prototype for a small, single-family urban dwelling, employed several of Le Corbusier's ideas. The ground floor was almost entirely open; which contained parking space for a car, a small-enclosed entry and stair hall, and a paved and planted open terrace. The upper floors were supported on a few concrete pilotis.
As at Citrohan, the living room extended upward through two storeys, and a portion of the roof used as a spacious garden terrace. Also, special in the Maison Cook was the extremely free handling of partitions. On every floor level Le Corbusier made a point of curving his partitions to make it quite clear that they were entirely independent of all structural supports.
Having assured himself of the 'Five Points' in the design of the Maison Cook, Le Corbusier was about to explore further possibilities of the system. The sytem led to practical advantages as well as spatial and formal flexibility. The Villa Stein which Le Corbusier built at Garches during 1927. Again, pilotis supporting a part of the ground floor; a hollowed-out, two storey outdoor cube; freely curved partitions on every floor; a 'Golden Section' system of facade design; and a roof garden on top. The villa was another contribution towards Le Corbusier's central objective - to create prototypes for a vertical city. Villa Stein possessed a sculptured stairs and suspended entrance canopies, the long, uninterrupted ribbon windows. Also, both its short end walls are blank, or almost blank, as Garches was designed again as a unit in a repetitive block of 'superimposed villas'.
The 2 Houses Le Corbusier built at Weissenhof Siedlung in Stuttgart (1927), were an experimental building to the modern suburb. Le Corbusier felt fully justified in making his Weissenhof buildings a kind of summary of all his convictions concerning an industrialized architecture.
The first Weissenhof building was a precise and beautifully proportioned version of his Citrohan project of 1922. It repeated the clearly defined roof garden on top, and free facade glazed by large rectangles of glass, like an abstract painting. The second building was an actual apartment house. The building had single-level apartments on the second floor, and a roof garden on top. The stair towers were treated as separate elements, projecting out from the 'pure prism' of the apartment block. A ribbon of glass consisting of horizontally sliding windows extended across the full length of the building. All partitions inside consisted of prefabricated storage walls, and all furniture, apart from chairs and tables, was built in also.
Villa Savoye was part of the central concept that Le Corbusier first developed in the Citrohan house in 1922. It revealed the same language traced as far as Villa Stein, but rearranged in a slightly different way. The villa at Poissy was also a realization of the 'five points'. As well as demonstrating these, it also has the characteristic elements such as the entrance ramp (which cuts through the middle of the grid), the curving walls of the solarium and, the pilotis and slab construction. Once inside the ground floor, one can promenade through either by a ramp or a curving staircase. The first floor, surrounded entirely by a ribbon window, consisted of the complete lining accommodation wrapped in the open terrace. Light and air penetrated everywhere. Direct contact with the surrounding landscape is achieved by various openings, views are framed like a picture.

What is the difference between mortar and stucco?
Mortar is lime/sand or more recently cement/sand mixture used to 'glue' bricks and blocks together. Stucco is a decorative plaster applied to walls and ceilings to embellish the basic structure. Coving and ceiling roses are an example of ornate plasterwork. In a ddition to its use for bonding building bricks together mortar is used for surfaces to give a smooth finish, somewhat like plaster, this is called rendering in some locations. Stucco is similar in that it has aggregate added to give it a rough or textured finish.
