The Finer Design Cues Of Distinguished Real Estate

By Jackie S. Dumayne


As a person planning on sourcing good real estate, there are many important terms that you should probably familiarize yourself with. These will not only help you to understand what is being planned and offered better, but will help you with planning what you want to request as well. This is a simplified list of explained terms that will assist you in your property buying endeavors.

More than a few of the terms carry archaeological meanings, due to the fact that architecture dates very far back. The word abacus, from Latin, or Abaca, points to a table, or a surface. It's found at the height of many architectural lines that reasonably relate to a plate. It could consist of many different types of design. It can be seen in a long board, when seen in Profile, above a Doric architrave.

Agora means a town square. It had been a venue for people to gather in the ancient Greek towns (known as polis). They were shaped to be the first public Market Squares. They were located in the vicinity of public buildings, porticoes, temples, statues and others.

If necessary, the city received more agora. Agora is a leading place for political discussions, business negotiations, where business transactions are concluded. Ask your architect about recreating a genuine feel of this for your public areas

The Aggregate, or aggregatum in Latin is also an oft used term. It indicates a mechanical affiliation between a complex body's parts: its mechanics and mineralogy. In design and architecture, it's the affiliation of premises in a complex that has no real organic affiliation.

An Abaton, or Adyton, also known as an Aditon, is a sanctuary or secos. That's the area inside a temple where the deities' statues resided, normally inaccessible to mere mortals, reserved for "holy people". A phrase that you would do well to remember is the French derivative Ajour.

It references gauze and translucent materials like lace. Complete separation of a bas-relief is often planned by interior architects. It can be achieved with the utilization of the art tangle of a metal thread.

An exciting feature to own in your residence is the Acanthus. It's derived from a Greek word- Akantha - and in Latin it was known as an Acanthus. It's an architectural ornament within the form of the acanthus plant leaf. This component is distinguished by a Roman (peaked and rounded) acanthus.

This was a well known feature of the Corinthian capitals, used for adornment within the Renaissance, mostly on cornices and friezes. The ornamental acanthus derives from the formation of architectural styles of Corinthian origin. It really brings a property to life.
