Architectural Elements Ribbed Vaults
Architectural Elements Ribbed Vaults refer to a type of ceiling structure in architecture characterized by a series of interconnected arches or ribs that create a framework supporting the roof or ceiling. These ribs typically intersect and form a series of pointed arches, creating a visually striking and intricate pattern. Ribbed vaults are commonly found in Gothic architecture, where they are used to distribute the weight of the roof or ceiling more efficiently and allow for greater height and openness in interior spaces.
