WHAT DOES ROOFTOP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

rooftop

Roof

A roof is part of a building envelope, both the covering on the uppermost part of a building or shelter which provides protection from animals and weather, notably rain, but also heat, wind and sunlight; and the framing or structure which supports the covering. The characteristics of a roof are dependent upon the purpose of the building that it covers, the available roofing materials and the local traditions of construction and wider concepts of architectural design and practice and may also be governed by local or national legislation. In most countries a roof protects primarily against rain. A verandah may be roofed with material that protects against sunlight but admits the other elements. The roof of a garden conservatory, protects plans from cold, wind and rain but admits light. A roof may also provide additional living space, for example a roof garden.

The first Parikrma school started in a slum where there were 70,000 people living below the poverty line.
