So What Is An Ogee?


Incredibly, The Blue Ogee has been in existence for a few years (with long dormant moments) but I have never shown the design of an ogee on the blog. 

Here is a design of an ogee arch.  The definition of ogee arch in the Encarta dictionary is:  "An arch whose sides curve gently inward toward the tip and then curve upward steeply to meet in a point."

The ogee is an elegant design rarely seen in modern or post-modern art and architecture.  May the discussions in this Blue Ogee blog be equally elegant and unusual for the society in which we live.
