Arches

Arches?  Not just any arches, multi-foil cusped arches.

Can you believe those elaborated cuspings?  Crazy.  Check out the stilted arch in the gable, wherein the center is higher than the impost.

The Shrine Auditorium and more cusped arches.  A lot more, an arcade.

Maybeck Lives in Venice?

Architect Bernard Maybeck's best known work may be the Goslinsky house (1909) in San Francisco's Pacific Heights, with its irreverent, broken, tilde-like pediment (image left and previously exhibited in Subterfuge 1/28/2009).

Craftsman bungalow with contemporary second floor addition in Venice. Also sporting an exaggerated, discontiguous pediment or cornice. Perhaps too weighty, but a fascinating attempt at abstraction, or geometric reductionism.
