cupolas (roof appendages, exterior roof components, ... Components (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Generally refers to small domes, often resembling overturned cups or bulbs, placed on a circular, polygonal, or square base or on small pillars or a glassed-in lantern or skylight. A cupola is typically used to crown a turret, roof, or larger dome. The term may also refer specifically to the inner vault of a dome. When these structures are intended to be used as lookouts, prefer "belvederes"; for windowed superstructures on roofs or domes used to admit light or air to the space below, use "lanterns (roof appendages)." To refer specifically to onion-shaped domes of any size, use "onion domes." |

Dutch ..... Wordt gebruikt voor kleine bouwwerken gebouwd op de nok ven een dak, vooral gebruikelijk in Amerikaanse architectuur. Wanneer deze bouwwerken bedoeld zijn als uitkijkpost wordt de benaming 'belvédères' gebruikt; voor koepels of bovenbouwen voorzien van ramen die bedoeld zijn om licht of lucht te geven aan de onderliggende ruimte wordt de benaming 'lantaarn (daktoevoegingen)'gebruikt; voor hemisferische daken wordt de benaming 'helmgewelf' gebruikt. |
