In The Book of Lists , there is a section on architecture that has the
Elements of Architecture in a similar form of a directory. It shows different
types of windows, doors, columns, arches, ect. Chech it out, you might want
to add it as a supplement to your directory. I've been using it for years for
my architect unit. In fact my 7th gr. just finished their buildings using
sgraffito- nice results.
