Document Summary
Will always have a slight slope to it. You want water to drain off of it. If a really big flat roof, then it will slope to the centre of it. Kerr hall (built in drains to drain the water, connected to drains that are in the structure) Has a lot more roofing material than the gable. Too expensive and time consuming to build out of stone or brick. Different patterns tend to predominate in different places. Depends on where you are, how structures are gonna go together, predominate and what design will be. Butterfly roof: catches everything that lands on it, all of the rain goes to centre, might use it in the location where you want to capture rain water. The folded plate (not normally seen in housing) was a deisgn that was often seen on industrial structures because you could put skylights on those roof surfaces and you can flood the interior with natural lighting (eg, factory)
