	A butterfly is in effect an inverted gable roof, where the lowest point of the roof is at the centre line, whist the highest at the edges or supporting walls. The form may also be called a V roof, denoting the shape and some times a valley roof, though this is usually used to describe the pitched valleys created by two pitched gale rooves meeting.

	Environmentally speaking the butterfly roof to some extent has great potential in warmer climates, to act as shading device to help cool buildings as well as a device to simplify rainwater collection. A variation on the butterfly, used in hotter climates is known as a flying or fly roof, that is a roof that is separated from the bulk of the house, flying above it. These roofs are normally lightweight, and supported by short legs and structure, to leave a visual gap from the actual roof and ceiling of the building. This creates a shading layer with a gap allowing cool breezes to blow though creating a cooler micro climate around the building. Examples of fly roofs can be seen in the Architecture of Peter Stutchbury and Dunn and Hillam in Australia and Atrticle 25 with Max Fordham engineers in Burkino Faso.

	The butterfly roof has association with modernism and to some extent warmer climates, with the wings extended to form shading devices. The form allows high level clerestory widows to be located at the corners of the building often given a modern look and feel to a building. Famous modernist architects whom have incorporated butterfly roofs into their design include: Le Corbusier ( Maison Errazuriz, 1930), Oscar Niemeyer (Pampulha Yacht Club, 1943) and Marcel Breuer (Geller House, 1945). The form is often associated with 1950s and 1960s architecture in California, where the technique can be found on numerous individual houses of the time. Butterfly are however also today associated with simple devices for shelters such as those found on petrol forecourts, railway station platforms and so on as seen in the example below.
