Most modernist houses do not use gable roof forms unless the angles of the roof are part of an overall idea and structure that depends upon the use of angles throughout.<BR/><BR/>I certainly agree, however, that it great to see the sun once again in HCMC -- it is time for all of us to get out and take some good photos!<BR/>-- MelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
