Seven Wonders of Precast : Jubilee Church
One of the most unique precast structures to be built in recent memory is the Jubilee Church in Rome
Proper handling and protection are important throughout the precast process, delivery and erection of the precast wall panels. Protection of the frames should remain intact throughout the construction phase to avoid physical damages to the frames, which could be costly to rectify or replace.
CORNICE
Cornices are generally found at the very top of an exterior wall, just under the roof line. Historically cornices were designed to prevent rainwater from running off the roof and hitting the walls Most buildings today solve the rainwater problem with gutters, however cornices are still used as decorative elements. Position of cornice: a) the upper slanting part of an entablature located above the frieze b) over a door or window c) around the edge of a pedestal
