What is a "keystone"?

In architecture, a keystone is the central stone at the top of an arch that holds the other stones in place. It is typically larger than the other stones and is shaped to fit perfectly into the arch's curve. The keystone plays a crucial role in distributing weight and maintaining the stability of the arch. Besides its functional importance, the keystone can also serve as a decorative element, often featuring unique carvings or designs. This feature enhances the overall beauty of the structure while providing essential structural support.

ارتفاع

ارتفاع

the vertical distance or height between the springing point and the highest point of the arch

What is the "rise"?

In architecture, the rise refers to the vertical distance from the springing point of an arch or vault to its highest point, which is often the apex or crown. This measurement is important in determining the shape and overall appearance of the arch. A greater rise typically results in a steeper and more pronounced curve, while a smaller rise creates a flatter arch. The rise is a key factor in both the structural integrity and aesthetic quality of an arch, influencing how it interacts with the surrounding space and other architectural elements.

What is a "rib vault"?

A rib vault is an architectural feature formed by the intersection of two or more pointed arches, creating a framework that supports the ceiling of a building. The design consists of rib-like structures that outline the edges of the vault, adding both strength and visual interest. Rib vaults are often found in Gothic and Romanesque architecture, typically used in churches and cathedrals. This style allows for larger and more open interior spaces while effectively distributing weight and stress. Rib vaults also provide opportunities for decorative elements, such as intricate patterns or sculptures, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the structure.

What is a "spandrel"?

A spandrel is the triangular or curved space between the outer curve of an arch and the surrounding wall or frame. It often appears in structures with multiple arches, such as bridges or buildings with arched doorways or windows. Spandrels can serve both structural and decorative purposes, sometimes filled with carvings or other ornamental details, enhancing the visual appeal of the space while helping support the arches. They play an important role in distributing the weight of the arches and maintaining the overall balance of the structure.
