In architecture, a bay is the space between architectural elements, or a recess or compartment. ''Bay'' comes from "Old French ''baee''," meaning an opening or hole.〔"Bay" ''Online Etymology Dictionary''. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=bay&searchmode=none accessed 3/10/2014〕 == Examples == # The spaces between posts, columns, or buttresses in the length of a building, the division in the widths being called aisles. This meaning also applies to overhead vaults (between ribs), in a building using a vaulted structural system. For example, the Gothic architecture period's Chartres Cathedral has a nave (main interior space) that is '' "seven bays long." '' Similarly in timber framing a bay is the space between posts in the transverse direction of the building and aisles run longitudinally.〔"Bay", n.3. def. 1-6 and "Bay", n.5 def 2. ''Oxford English Dictionary'' Second Edition on CD-ROM (v. 4.0) © Oxford University Press 2009〕 # The openings for windows in a wall. For example, in Georgian style, at Mulberry Fields, the building is described as a '' "5 bay by 2 bay facade," '' meaning a '' "5 windows by 2 windows" '' exterior. # A recess in a wall, such as a bay window.〔 # A division of space such as an animal stall, sick bay, or bay platform.〔 # The space between joists or rafters, a ''joist bay'' or ''rafter bay''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bay (architecture)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
