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 />
