What is Ribbed Vaults in Gothic Architecture about?
Ribbed vaults are a construction technique featuring a skeleton of arches that support a ceiling or roof, commonly used in Gothic cathedrals. They evolved from Romanesque architecture around 1120, allowing for lighter structures with thinner walls and larger windows. Notable examples include Durham Cathedral, Reims Cathedral, and Notre-Dame de Paris.
