  • Designing Style: a Guide
    DESIGNING STYLE A Guide to Designing with Today’s Vinyl Siding CONTENTS Architectural Styles Cape Cod Italianate French Colonial Queen Anne Georgian Folk Victorian Federal/Adam Craftsman Greek Revival Product Overview Traditional Profiles Color and Texture Specialty Profiles The Vinyl Siding Institute developed Designing Style: A Guide to Designing with Today’s Architectural Trim and Other Accessories Vinyl Siding as a resource for designing with and/or specifying vinyl and other polymeric Soffit siding, architectural trim, and accessories. We believe the most effective way to communicate the breadth and depth of products available today — and the creative, limitless possibilities Photo Gallery for design – is by example. Throughout this guide, we’ve included many photographs and illustrations plus information to help create each specific architectural style. Appendix Contents Architectural Styles Product Overview Photo Gallery Architectural Styles This guide showcases nine house designs, each featuring a different architectural style used as precedent. The specific design examples are not intended to represent strict architectural principles, but rather demonstrate design variations inspired by each style. Styles used as precedent were selected from the Colonial, Romantic, Victorian, and Eclectic periods of architecture. They include: Cape Cod Federal/Adam Queen Anne French Colonial Greek Revival Folk Victorian Georgian Italianate Craftsman Each featured style offers an explanation of its distinguishing characteristics and an overview of suggested vinyl siding profiles, colors, architectural trim, and accessories available to help achieve its look, with all of its rich detail. A variety of photographs are included to demonstrate how each style has been interpreted through designs using vinyl siding. The possibilities for residential design are as limitless as your imagination.

  • Limiting the Use of Centering in Vaulted Construction:The Early
    Limiting the Use of Centering in Vaulted Construction: The Early Byzantine Churches of West Asia Minor Nikolaos Karydis Introduction The evolution of ecclesiastical architecture during the Early Byzantine period was marked by a major development in construction technology: the gradual transition from the building system of the “timber-roof basilica” to the one of the vaulted church. The early stages of this development seem to date back to the period between the late 5th and the 7th century AD and some of its earliest manifestations occur in the vaulted monuments of Constantinople and west Asia Minor. If the former are well-studied, the role of west Asia Minor in the development of vaulted church architecture is often underestimated, despite the publications of Auguste Choisy (1883), Hans Buchwald (1984), and others on this topic. Still, the published archaeological evidence from the cities of this area is clear: in Ephesos, Priene and Pythagorion, ambitious building programs were launched to replace timber-roof basilicas by magnificent domed churches.1 By the end of the 6th century, major vaulted monuments had already made their appearance in the civic centers of Sardis, Hierapolis, and Philadelphia.2 (Fig. 1) The plethora of Early Byzantine vaulted churches in the west coastal plains and river valleys of Asia Minor indicates that monumental architecture in this region was strongly influenced by the new architectural vocabulary. (Fig. 2) This development changed radically the way in which churches were designed. The use of vaults, and, in particular, domes, called for load-bearing systems that were profoundly different from the ones of the timber-roof basilica.

  • Appendix/Glossary Glossary Architrave the Lowest Member of an Entablature; It Is Usually in the Form of a Beam That Spans Between Columns on a Porch
    Appendix/Glossary Glossary Architrave The lowest member of an entablature; it is usually in the form of a beam that spans between columns on a porch. See Entabulature for image. Balloon Framing Begun in Chicago in the 1830s and popular during the Queen Anne period, this framing system eliminated the previous post-and-beam construction and used only closely spaced, 2-inch wide boards of varying widths, such as the common 2” x 4” studs, joined only by nails. The boards (or studs) extend the full height of the building from the foundation to the roof, unlike the subsequent Platform Framing. Top Rail The uprights supporting a handrail. Baluster Baluster Bottom Rail Balustrade The whole assembly of a railing system including the top rail, balusters, and the bottom rail along the edge of a balcony, porch, and steps. Bay A vertical division of a building marked by windows and doors (e.g. if a house is Three Bay three bays wide it has two windows and Dwelling a door). Bays also refer to the spaces between columns on a porch. Belt Course A projecting, horizontal band of masonry extending across the face of a building. Beveled Glass Found in many late 19th-century and 20th-century wood entrance doors where the rectangular shaped glazing has a 1-inch bevel around its entire periphery. These bevels act as prisms in the sunlight creating a spectrum of colors. Bond, Brick The outer face pattern of brick courses. A header is a brick laid so that only its shorter side appears on the surface.

Ashlar Masonry of large blocks in regular courses worked to even faces and carefully squared edges: the stones themselves are called ashlars and may have a dressed finish. Astragal Wooden glazing bar used to support the glass panes of a window. Balustrade A parapet or stair rail composed of uprights supporting a coping or rail.
