On the opposite wall, the lines cluster into thatches of electric crayon color — seaweed, waves, electricity, brain synapses.

For decades, the city's Bangladeshi restaurants were nearly indistinguishable from more blurrily subcontinental ones, kitchens churning out chicken tikka masala and murky thatches of saag paneer.

The paint textures range from a thick stucco (used mostly for sheep) to a thinned-down Impressionism (thatches of strokes that denote either grassy banks or overflowing water).

Plastic is usually a sign of machine intervention, but even the thatches of common plastic straws — clear and black — in two recent dresses by Gareth Pugh are hand-cut and attached individually.

Two examples of Rayonist painting — a style preoccupied with thatches of diagonal lines, seen as rays of light — indicate that Goncharova and her husband devised Russia's first abstract painting style (although explosive brushwork of Goncharova's slightly earlier but related "Landscape, 47" is better than either).

The dwellings were cut into the earth, had subterranean floors, and walls that were built of dry stone. Wooden posts supported the roofs, which were probably thatches with brushwood or animal hides.Mithen, Steven J.: After The Ice: A Global Human History, 20,000-5000 BC, page 28. Harvard University Press paperback edition, 2003.

67 The thatches and the supporting bamboo poles caught fire and fell on the children and also blocked the exit. The fire service was informed at 11 a.m. and the personnel arrived in a few minutes. But since they were unprepared for such a large scale fire, the rescue services were not effective.

Vaitogians have been traditionally known to be skilled farmers, and the large flatlands toward inland Vaitogi were a great advantage for the farmers. Vaitogi is also notable for its past sugar cane fields. The sugar cane leaves were woven into thatches for the roofs of fales (houses). The Vaitogi farmers also planted palm trees to cater to the demands of roof thatching.

The Catholic Church has a presence in Eraviputhenthurai. The village's conversion may be traced back to not later than A.D. 1544 when St. Francis Xavier converted nearly 10,000 Mukkuvars (fishermen and women) living in thirteen villages along the coast from Pallam to Poovar. Immediately thereafter they pulled down their Hindu temple and idols. A cross was built and thatches were made for worship.

Terracotta head representing oni or King of Ife, 12th to 16th century Medieval Yoruba settlements were surrounded with massive mud walls. Yoruba buildings had similar plans to the Ashanti shrines, but with verandahs around the court. The wall materials comprised puddled mud and palm oil while roofing materials ranged from thatches to aluminium and corrugated iron sheets. A famous Yoruba fortification, the Sungbo's Eredo, was the second largest wall edifice in Africa.

The roofs continue to consist of thatches made of raffia palm leaves, although aluminium roofing is also being used when finances permit. Wealthier Njyem and those living in larger villages and towns often live in houses employing mud-blocks or concrete-blocks.

N-gum La is a village located in the Triangle Land of the Mali and Nmai rivers, in Kachin State, Burma. N-gumla High School, also called as No. 2 Government High School, is run by the KIO and it is famous in bearing many Kachin Leaders. The school was established in some 1970. It was burned by Burmese military soldiers in 1987, rebuilt in 1986 by bamboo and thatches, and in 2005 with concrete.

W. E. Butler worked many years as an engineer. Later on he was a member of the technical staff at University of Southampton, England.Encyclopedia.

Chapman met Butler in the 1970s, noting that he had a Yorkshire accent, and commenting on a "paternal sort of goodness about him".

Until the late 19th century, crudely worked slate quarrystones were used as a building material. Given the low level of processing that this stone required, it was mined in pits on the surface rather than underground, despite the problematic geological structure of Hunsrück slate. In 1824, when the Oldenburg government issued a ban on thatches, there was suddenly a great demand for a roofing material that did not burn. The thin sheets of slate used for this could only be mined underground because of the difficulty of processing the stone.

1871 census Even allowing for the six houses that were in the way of the new railway this was a substantial change on the previous agricultural life. A cutting assisted in dividing the village in half as well as changing the routes of local roads to join with the four new bridges. New houses were constructed in the village for the station master and the head porter as well as a row of six workman's houses outside the village near the parish border with Swarkestone. These new buildings replaced the lost thatched cottages, but more thatches were lost later when sparks from the locomotives set alight to others.

Excavation of the thatch at Moirlanich Longhouse Section through the thatch at Moirlanich Longhouse Some thatched roofs in the UK are extremely old and preserve evidence of traditional materials and methods that had long been lost. In northern Britain this evidence is often preserved beneath corrugated sheet materials and frequently comes to light during the development of smaller rural properties. Historic Scotland have funded several research projects into thatching techniques and these have revealed a wide range of materials including broom, heather, rushes, cereals, bracken, turf and clay and highlighted significant regional variationWalker, B, McGregor, C.& Stark, G 1996 Thatches and Thatching Techniques: A guide to conserving Scottish Thatching Traditions.

The paintings generally emerge from monochromatic grounds built of layered color, onto which Korman painted notational dashes, squares and wavy strokes of contrasting color that suggest gently disintegrating grids or plaids, thatches of grass or abstract calligraphy. Reviews most consistently commented on the work's controlled spontaneity, which Ken Johnson described as "operat[ing] in the gap between painterly hedonism and formal puritanism"; Holland Cotter compared the work to "a good dance performance" combining "skill with an instinctive grace." Between 1993 and 1996, Korman turned to mostly black, white and gray canvasses with askew grids and irregular, geometric "compartments" containing densely worked, calligraphic circles, diamonds, stripes, figure-eight and pretzel-like forms, and emblems.Smith, Roberta.

From castles to mud thatches, mansions to shanties, the 'home' has grown to represent a seemingly limitless array of structures. The modern realty trade conventionally gives preference to 'home' as a warmer term in reference to the house structure; in the speculative context, terminology reverts back to 'house' as a unit of built residential property, as in the board game Monopoly. Note that a duplex is a housing structure which consists of two separate homes; a duplex amounts to a single building construction project, later marketed independently as two separate homes. The level of economic activity in the home-construction section is reported as housing starts, though this is contrarily denominated in terms of distinct habitation units, rather than distinct construction efforts.

According to a record which was discovered in the Carmelite Archives at Rome titled "De Missione Mahinensi in Malabaribus Commentarius" by Reverend Father Ignatius A.S Hippolytes O.C.D (dated 2 July 1757) the Shrine at Mahe was erected in 1736. According to the same document an Italian Reverend Father Dominic of St. John of the Cross came to Mahe and established the Mahe Mission in 1723 during the reign of King Bayanor, the Raja of Kadathanad near Vatakara. A small community of Christians gradually grew up at this place and in December 1736 the shrine was dedicated to this reformer Reverend Father Dominic of St. John of the Cross according to the solemn ritual of the Roman Catholic Church. Before becoming an established place of worship in 1736 the Shrine was constructed with thatches which were later modified several times.
