What is a "dome"?

A dome is a rounded, curved roof or ceiling that looks like the top half of a sphere. It is often used in large buildings such as churches, mosques, and government structures to create a grand and open space. The dome design evenly distributes weight, making the structure strong and stable. Its shape also allows for good acoustics and can help with natural lighting. Domes are admired for their impressive appearance and are often a central feature in architectural design.

What is a "fixture"?

A fixture is an object that is attached to a building or structure in such a way that it becomes a permanent part of it. Fixtures are typically fixed in place and cannot be easily removed without damaging the property. Common examples of fixtures include built-in cabinets, light fixtures, plumbing systems, and heating systems. These items are often considered part of the property when it is sold or rented. Fixtures are usually installed to enhance the function, appearance, or comfort of a space.

What is an "arch"?

An arch is a curved structure that spans an opening, typically made of stone, brick, or other materials. It is designed to support weight from above while allowing for clear space below. Arches are often used in doorways, windows, and bridges, creating a strong and stable shape that can distribute weight evenly. The curved design not only provides structural strength but also adds an aesthetic element to buildings and structures. Arches have been used in architecture for thousands of years and are an essential feature in various styles, from ancient Roman to modern design.
