  Spire - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The spire of the cathedral at Oxford (1220) is perhaps the earliest example; it is of comparatively low elevation, of octagonal form with marked entasis, and is decorated with spire lights on each face and pinnacled turrets at the angles.
The angles of the octagonal spire have a projecting moulding which is stopped by a head just above the corbel table, and at the top of the broach is a small niche with a figure in it; the spire lights are in three stages alternately in the front and diagonal faces.
The happiest combination of all, however, is perhaps the spire of St Mary's, Oxford, with three ranges of angle niche-groups set one behind the other, forming with the centre spire a magnificent cluster of spires; the niche gables and pinnacles are all enriched with crockets and the ball flower in the arch mouldings.

 Infinite Spire and Fallen Headstones : Technology And Construction
Because the spire is mostly vacant, the upper part of the structure can be lightweight and can be built in a manner similar to an airplane wing.
However, it is important that the spire be tall relative to nearby buildings, at least 20% taller than most nearby structures, so that it stands against an empty visual field when observed from the memorial area.
Our preliminary work suggests that a spire 600 to 750 meters high will project the effect that the surrounding buildings are spiraling upward around the spire, which then becomes the focus of the site.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Spire
These early timber spires were, as a rule, not very tall, but later they reached a greater elevation; that which crowned old St. Paul's in London is said to have been 527 feet in height.
On some of these buildings there are several spires, in many instances built at different periods: the south spire of Chartres, culminating in a pinnacle 350 feet above the ground, was erected in 1175, while the north spire, with its apex 380 feet above the ground, was not finished until 1513.
The so-called spires of the Renaissance and those built by Sir Christopher Wren are not true spires, but merely steeples terminating in a point.

 Spire of Dublin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spire of Dublin (also known as the Monument of Light) is a large, pin-like monument 120 metres (393 ft) in height.
The centrepiece of this regeneration was to be a replacement monument for Nelson Pillar, the Spire of Dublin, chosen by a committee under the then chairmanship of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Alderman Joe Doyle from a large number of submissions.
The completion of the spire on 21 January 2003 was cheered on by a small crowd of Dubliners who braved the cold to watch its erection and the RTÉ radio presenter Lillian Smith celebrated by broadcasting Neil Young's song, The Needle and the Damage Done.

 Interactive Fly, Drosophila
Spire itself is conserved among metazoans and, together with the formin Cappuccino, is required for axis specification in oocytes and embryos, suggesting that multiple actin nucleation factors collaborate to construct essential cytoskeletal structures (Quinlan, 2005).
SpireD binds to Capu and inhibits F-actin/microtubule crosslinking, and activated Rho1 abolishes this inhibition, establishing a mechanistic basis for the regulation of Capu and Spire activity.
Spire proteins are highly conserved between species and belong to the family of Wiskott-Aldrich homology region 2 (WH2) proteins involved in actin organization.

 Infinite Spire and Fallen Headstones : Archival Site Plans
The spire is placed on a diagonal between the footprints of the former World Trade Center towers, and is oriented so that the building's height will appear to be infinite when viewed from near the center of each footprint.
A spire 600-1000 meters tall can be designed to project the effect of infinite height to a distance of 50 or more meters from the building's center.
Most headstones are clustered within the WTC footprints, though they are densest close to the spire, and become sparser as one walks away from the spire.

 The Outlands: The Spire's Effect on Psionics
It is generally agreed, though, that psionics are subject to the Spire's absorption influence, and that psionics eventually don't work close to the Spire.
As a spellcaster gets closer to the Spire, they lose the ability to cast spells, the highest level (9th) being absorbed by the Spire (and erased from the spellcaster's memory) first, while the lowest level is not absorbed until the spellcaster is close near the Spire.
Once out of the Spire's furthest ring, powers and effects may be used to increase irthe PSP current total higher than the maximum PSP total as normal, described within the power's effect.
