architectural vocabulary is so important. they don't emphasize and teach it enough in architecture school. keep these coming.

Nice. Thx.

Love this video. Glad you included baluster, banister & balustrade. As a professional finish carpenter I incorrectly referred to the window stool as the sill for the first 15 yrs of my career probably because that's what the person called it that I learned from. As I went off and started my own business I began to educate myself more and more on the proper names and use of moldings and such. And still learning, it's never to late. Thanks.

Nice, the sill apron/stool is a good one. Maybe that will be in the next 10 words. Thx.

@@BrentHull you guys use so many different words to us- we have door linings not jambs, architraves and skirting boards not trim and base. Our window openings are plastered reveals not cased with timber and ’trim’ but a windowboard fitted during first fix (framing) that is plastered down to. Just a tiny selection of how different our terminology is to yours but your video used universal terms!

Appreciate these videos. Worth noting that local usage of terms can have a different meaning and understanding. Always good to have a real item or illustration to point to so ensure everyone is clear they are talking about the same thing. In my area the porte cohere can also be a feature on the front entry of the building.

Must be thirty years ago now I worked in a very small pre-cast concrete firm making those quoins along with pavers and exterior lintels I think for windows, also the concrete sills - this was in the north of Ireland. I remember there was a total eclipse of the sun that year - we worked up to it then got after it again. lol.

Would really enjoy your thoughts on the use of color through history. Personally, I am tired of hearing "experts" recommend white walls every time , in every room. What would Henry Dupont have thought? The epidemic of " "nuetral" decor in America will possibly infantilize 90% of the population? Someday , I'll say what I really think.

I would still call the white house a portico more than a porte cochere. At least I think. Mainly because its primary visual strength is as a portico. Thoughts?

@@BrentHull According to Wickipedia, if its for vehicles it is a porte coche, if it is for people it is a portico. So technically the one at the White House is a porte coche. The White House calls it the North Portico. Go figure.

In the cabinetry trade we call a glass door that is divided out into the different panes a mullion door. Is this an incorrect term that just stuck and is used improperly? Is it more in the how each is constructed because in a window you would have individual panes that are separated by the muntons, where in a cabinet door you have 1 sheet of glass and the mullion are more or less over layed onto the glass?

So... What is the covered area at the front door where a vehicle picks up and or lets out passengers? I always thought that was a Portico. Also I thought that the brick header over a window or door was the soldier course and sometimes has a keystone.

@BrentHull Жыл бұрын

the car drive through on the side is a porte-cochere. Sometimes a portico on the front can be large enough to have a car drive through. A soldier course is only when bricks are standing up right and are not gauged or made to fit in an arch.
