shell vaulting

Isaac Kremer/ November 23, 2025/ / 0 comments

Vaulting used solely as decoration serving no structural purpose. It is made of plaster bonded by lath and held in place by struts attached to the beams. The Romans were the first to adopt the vault as a decorative device. With its value as an ornament, it evolved from being structural to being chiefly decorative. See vaulting. (Classicist, 2018)
