ARCHES

Arches are shapes which support openings in walls. A force at the top of an arch is spread across the sides of an arch and down to the base. If you rotate an arch 360 degrees it is a dome!

A flat arch may have a very slight curve. It is made from wedge-shaped stones.

Roman arches are semi-circular and were first used by Roman engineers. This style was used again in the Romanesque style (meaning descended from Rome) in Medieval Europe from about the 10th century.

Gothic arches are tall and pointed and are one of the typical characteristics of Gothic architecture. This style was prevalent from approximately the 12th to 16th centuries and the tall, pointed arches made it possible for cathedrals to have enormous windows.

Moorish arches are also called Horseshoe arches because of their shape. The curve is often more than a semi-circle and is typical of Islamic architecture.
