Hi Sonnich
Interesting project! Here are some corrections to the English-ness of some
terms I know about:
> Cornicle : "end of roof" wall.????
Possibly you mean "Cornice"? Usually the decorated top of a wall just under
the roof, with projections which support the edge of the roof.
> Gable: decoration under roof.
A Gable is the triangular vertical end wall of a roof which slopes in two
planes - a gabled roof, as opposed to a hipped or hip roof which slopes in
four planes and therefore uses corner slopes.
> Railing: the wall, or fence style building around a roof.
Railing usually implies a type of fence with lots of uprights (balusters)
with gaps between, and a flat rail along the top. Not a solid wall. Can be
anywhere, not just along a roof edge.
> Drumms: vertical lines (in columns)
These would be called Flutes , a column is fluted
Here's a list of architectural glossaries - maybe they will be of some help!
