On the Roof<br />
Roof is such an influential<br />
architectural element that it can<br />
protect and, therefore, give life.<br />
Roof can even control the quality<br />
of the space underneath. Roof<br />
is a true mediator—one that<br />
negotiates between existing<br />
conditions for the good of<br />
humankind. But if so, why does<br />
roof sometimes receive less<br />
priority in contemporary design?<br />
In this article, we shall look back<br />
in history to celebrate the values<br />
of roof and look beyond to the<br />
new developments and what<br />
the future may bring.<br />

Metal Roofing<br />
Materials<br />
Metal roofing is an alternative<br />
roofing material that creates<br />
beauty, modernity, strength,<br />
is light weight, and can cover a<br />
large area without the need for<br />
many structural columns. In this<br />
issue, the <strong>ASA</strong> Journal examines<br />
some important factors to<br />
consider when selecting metal<br />
materials for metal roofing.<br />
