Architectural Glossary

|
| GMDuggan 2006-11-15, 1:25 pm |
| Hi, I would just like to tell you about an Architectural Glossary
available for your reference on the internet. The glossary is quite
thorough and may answer some of your questions.
The glossary is located at
http://architecturalglossary.appropriatetonothing.net

First, an on-topic reply: it's missing "geodesic," too.
Now, to answer your question: ever since the "mother gopher" at
gopher://gopher.tc.umn.edu/ was taken down, Gopher has pretty much
died, though there are still some very awesome underground gophers
(are there any other kind?) in my private bookmarks, which-- if
generally known-- wouldn't last more than a few minutes in the light
of day.
However, you may enjoy my own gopher emulation, which I have converted
to an HTTP URL just for you.

| My favorite word is "Kludge". It's usage is "Standing in the cold
rain, Don couldn't figure out how to properly install the skylight so
he used a tube of caulk to make a kludge" or "Tara ran out of good
ideas and went back to her standard kludges" or "Ken's computer is a
kludge".

| There is no listing for rebar in the architectural glossary.
I guess you have to find that one in the structural engineer's glossary.

I didn't know there was a "mother gopher". Too bad. When did she die?

Hey, thanks for some input on words I missed
pendentives - Don't know it, But I bet I can guess what it is. I'll
have to design for a better class of client to use this word I bet.
squinches - Eh?!?!? Never heard of it.
rebar - Really? I dont have reinforcing bar or rod? But your right, the
contraction rebar should be in the glossary.
geodesic - I can't believe I left out geodesic. Damn!
