I'd have done a search, but I don't know what it's called. You know, the high in front kind of peaked roof on polynesian structures. It must have a name.

Anyway I'm interested in (not only what it's called) but it's archetectural significance, structural rationale, etc. Just pointing me towards a good reference would be much appreciated.
