DECORATION
PRESENT APPLICATION
in many architectural styles this is considered to be one
of the most important ones due to the fact that it gives
a design distinguishing looks even in vases or the
buildings that we see today or read in history. In other
cases can even serve functionally more than an
aesthetic.

VAULTS
PRESENT APPLICATION
just like the buttress these are reinforcements but
provide flexibility in roofs and in wall engineering.
These were easier to build and strong rather than
barrel vaults, in modern settings these have a more
hidden design but still are the same as before.
