The function of an abacus is to broaden the support provided by the column. Aisle Alter Apse The part of a building divided off by an arcade. A vlock or stand where offering are made to a deity. An often vaulted, semicircular or polygonal end of a room, usually in a church. Similar to the Roman exedra. Santa Maria in Trastevere, Rome Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan Arcade A series of columns or piers spanned by arches. A series of arches supported by columns or piers, either attached to a wall or freestanding. Plaza Mayor, Madrid Place des Vosges, Paris Basilica di Sant'Apollinare in Classe in Ravenna Arch A rounded element that spans an opening is called an arch. A basic element of construction, arches appear in all types of architecture. Arches can be decorative or structural. Early civilizations building arches include the Mesopotamians (as early as the 2nd millennium BCE) the Egyptians and the Greeks. Roman architecture adopted the arch from the Etruscans and used it extensively in building, bridges and their famous aqueducts. 1
2 Architrave The architrave is the lowest element of the entablature, and rests on top columns. Astragal A small convex moulding. Atrium Attic Base Base The inner court of a Roman house, open to the sky; an open court in front of an early Christian church A common base used for columns in classical architecture, the Attic base is made up of an upper and lower torus, separated by a scotia with fillets. In architecture a base is the lowest part or lowest main division of a structure. For columns, the base is the lowest portion of three parts, from top to bottom: the base, the shaft and the capital. Typically, Egyptian columns and Greek Doric columns have no base and are placed directly on the floor. Ionic columns may have an elaborate base built up of groups of mouldings and fillets. Barrel Vault A ceiling or roof consisting of a continuous semicircular or pointed arch. Also known as a tunnel vault. Example: St. Peter's Basilica, Rome Baroque Base The extravagant European architecture style of the 17 th and 18 th centuries. The lower part of a column. 2

Beam Bed mould A structural member that caries a load. Beams are usually placed horizontally and care a vertical load where the weight is transferred to walls, girders or columns. The moulding that appears under the projecting cornice. It is considered part of the cornice. Bell In reference to columns, the bell is a bell shaped part of the capital between the neck moulding and the abacus. It is common to columns in the Corinthinian order where it is decorative with acanthus leaves. Bell Tower Buttress Buttress, Flying A tower for bells. Pier of brick or stone giving additional strength to the wall to which it is attached An arched support carrying the trust of a vault to an outer buttress 3

Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m). Because of the recent invention of the cast plate glass method in 1848, which allowed for large sheets of cheap but strong glass, it was at the time the largest amount of glass ever seen in a building and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings that did not require interior lights, thus a "Crystal Palace".

The Doric order was developed in Greece and adopted by the Romans. Identifying features include columns that are stouter than the other orders, often 6 to 7 times as tall as the diameter at the base. In Greece Doric columns rested directly on the floor without the benefit of a pedestal or base moulding. Roman Doric columns tend to be slimmer and sit upon an Attic base. The Doric entablature is characterized by the triglyphs and metopes. 9
