0 a triangular part at the top of the front of a building that supports the roof and is often decorated
It is not until the upper floors that we see delicate aedicules with alternating segmental and triangular pediments.
Figure 5c is another kind of phrase structure grammar that incorporates architectural components (window elements and pediments) represented classically with symbols and combined in a classical, explanatory process.
I should like to point out that the pediments and the roof are one.
But the pediments are of great importance to the general design of the building.
I should like to finish by stressing that both the pediments and the roof are essential to the whole composition, and they should undoubtedly, be retained, repaired and tidied up.
There was an eighteenth century house which, at some time between the two wars, was sold; and upon its pediment was placed a large roof with windows.
Fenestration includes rectangular windows topped with marble pediments and arched windows with prominent keystones.
This pediment is echoed as a smaller pediment over both of the two-storied pavilions.
