Information AboutRaking Cornice |
|
The raking or '''sloped''' Cornice forms the topmost part of the Classic Greek and Roman Pediment , a form found at the front of such buildings as the Temple Of Athena in the Acropolis , the Pantheon , and Schinkel's Schauspielhaus . These cornices are actually the edges of the roof structures which bear on either a wall or Architrave on either side of the pediment. In Classical and Neoclassical architecture they are always detailed in exactly the same manner and proportion as the Cornice proper below. |
