Roof silhouettes say as much about climate and craft as they do about beauty. Browse vernacular roof types, open a form to read how pitch, framing, and covering work together, and move between regions when the same idea appears under another name.
Place two roofs side by side to weigh geometry, materials, and climate fit. Save what you want to revisit, pin a short reading set, and use the glossary when a ridge, eave, or truss term needs a cleaner definition.
Compare traditional roof forms across regions and vernacular styles.
