Photo! Explanation: If you're having trouble picturing it, have a look at the website below - I think from the description it's picture number 5 from the top. Reference: http://www.op.net/~jmeltzer/Gaudi/palaugel.html |

encapsulated/covered in glass Explanation: I imagine it could mean they were in some way covered in glass. It's just a guess. I have seen a photo which I think is of this part of the building, but it's not very clear. In fact, in the photo it looks like the columns are made of marble. Anyway, good luck to you, Jon. Sheila Main Entry: en·cap·su·late Pronunciation: in-'kap-s&-"lAt, en- Function: verb Inflected Form(s): -lat·ed; -lat·ing Date: 1876 transitive senses 1 : to enclose in or as if in a capsule <a pilot encapsulated in the cockpit> 2 : EPITOMIZE, SUMMARIZE <encapsulate an era in an aphorism> intransitive senses : to become encapsulated - en·cap·su·la·tion /-"kap-s&-'lA-sh&n/ noun http://www.harcourt.com/dictionary/def/4/4/0/3/4403400.html Browse by scientific field Back to Dictionary home glassivation Electronics. 1. a transistor passivation process in which silicon semiconductor devices, complete with metal contact systems, are fully encapsulated in glass. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-14 22:59:53 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If ithe photo which Anne cited (http://www.op.net/~jmeltzer/Gaudi/palaugel.html) and I had also looked at IS the place the text refers to, then the colums are helped by aa low wall. So, the columns don\'t support the windows on their own. It\'s kind of a column/wall sandwich. Does that make any sense?! Hope so. Sheila Mind you even if this is not the right photo, it could be something like that system. Hope this helps! |
