A blind arcade is an arcade that is composed of a series of arches that has no actual openings and that is applied to the surface of a wall as a decorative element: i.e. the arches are not windows or openings but are part of the masonry face. It is designed as an ornamental architectural element, and has no load-bearing function. Whereas a blind arch is usually a single arch or a series of joined arches as a frieze (sometimes called Lombard bands), a blind arcade is composed of a series of arches that have well-defined columns. Blind arcades are a common decorative features on the facades of Romanesque and Gothic buildings throughout Western Europe, and are also a common feature in Byzantine Orthodox churches in Eastern Europe, and in Armenian churches. == See also == * Arcade * Blind Arch * Dwarf gallery * Buttress * Lombard Band Image:Camposanto Pisa 100.JPG|Camposanto Monumentale in Pisa (Italy) Image:Canton Viaduct.jpg|Canton Viaduct in Canton, Massachusetts, Massachusetts (USA) Image:CordobaMezquita01.jpg|Córdoba, (Spain) Image:Soissons cathedral 104.JPG|Cathédrale Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais de Soissons, (France) Image:Absida maior Colexiata de Sar.JPG|Santiago de Compostela, (Spain) Image:Canterbury Cathedral 11 norman arcade.jpg|Canterbury Cathedral, (England) Image:Blendarkaden3.JPG|San Miniato al Monte, Florence (Italy) Image:SevillaTorreDelOro10.JPG|Torre del Oro, Seville (Spain) Image:Blindarkad.jpg|Linköping Cathedral (Sweden) Image:Ukraine-Lviv-Armenian_Church-16.jpg|Armenian church, Lviv, (Ukraine) File:MosqueeKairouan 1.jpg|Great Mosque of Kairouan, Tunisia (also known as Mosque of Uqba) File:Esselborn2_dib_020.jpg|Sassanian blind facade of Taq-i_Kisra, in Ctesiphon modern day Iraq 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「Blind arcade」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
