	Gilding - LoveToKnow 1911
		Owing to the comparative thickness of the gold-leaf used in ancient gilding, the traces of it which yet remain are remarkably brilliant and solid.
		Gilding has in all times occupied an important place in the ornamental arts of Oriental countries; and the native processes pursued in India at the present day may be taken as typical of the arts as practised from the earliest periods.
		Further, gilding is much employed for coating baser metals, as in button-making, in the gilt toy trade, in electro-gilt reproductions and in electro-plating; and it is also a characteristic feature in the decoration of pottery, porcelain and glass.

		Murals on the houses built by Basothos honor ancestors and serve as visual prayers; the mud walls signify the fields and the designs signify patterns of cultivation and some of the things which are growing; the houses themselves signify the womb and the Creation (the emergence of humans from the earth).
		The houses are painted by women and as seems to be the case in certain other examples of African architecture where women play a dominant role as builder or designer, in particular, examples from nomadic cultures, the symbolic meanings are associated with female rituals.
		The ornamentation of this house is striking in contrast to some of the houses which are covered more evenly over the whole surface; this one seems to use a pattern which creates the effect of columns supporting the roof.

	93.01.05: The Domestic House
		Amos Rapaport in The House Form and Culture argues that by seeing architecture as being the domain of genius designers and massive structures we have ignored the vast majority of buildings and a vital link in the total story of man and his efforts to build.
		One of the basic ways we are able to identify different cultures is from the distinguishing ornamentation they use on their buildings and cloth, etc. Owen Jones, one of the respected writers on ornamentation, in his book: The Grammar of Ornament, studied the ornament of Savage tribes, the Egyptians, and the Greeks.
		The teacher might want to consider other types of ornament if another region or country is being studied, so that the unit can be expanded to include Japanese and Chinese ornamentation as well as a study of the Native American Indians and their use of design.

		Detailing on a vernacular house is always much simpler than on a "high style" house (an elaborate example of a style).

	CLEVELAND, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE IN PLANNING
		City houses at best can rarely be so well provided for in this respect as those which stand alone, as is generally the case in the country, and it is all the more important that every facility should be afforded to secure as much as possible of its genial influence.
		But every house on the south side of a street running east and west must have its front rooms, which are-generally its living rooms, entirely secluded from the sun during the Winter, and for most of the day during the Summer.
		Mountain ranges are introduced which are overlooked from the chamber windows of the surrounding houses; lakes of corresponding size are created apparently to afford an excuse for the construction of rustic bridges, which are conspicuous at- a greater distance than either mountains or lakes.
