Description: | inscr.: "Detail of Stone Skew / Half Full Size" CRE MACKINTOSH, Charles Rennie; (Scottish; 1868-1928) Skew is a Scottish term which commonly refers to sloping structural elements. More specifically it is the sloping tabling which caps a gable and is upstanding above the plane of the roof. Where slates or tiles butt up against the skew, they were usually covered by a mortar fillet, which now tend to be replaced by flashings, to prevent water ingress. For further examples of skews see: 53010/5 & 53010/12. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SKETCHBOOK : DRAWING : CONSTRUCTION : ARCHITECTURE : BUILDING : GLASGOW INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS : ROOF : CRM ONLINE : CEMENT : SARKING : SLATE : DORMER : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
