Examples of lancet arch in the following topics:
-
- Venetian Gothic architecture is a term given to a Venetian building style combining use of the Gothic lancet arch with Byzantine and Ottoman influences.
- The large arch in the center is known as the porta regia or "royal arch."
-
- One of the defining characteristics of Gothic architecture is the pointed or ogival arch.
- The way in which the pointed arch was drafted and utilized developed throughout the Gothic period, and four popular styles emerged: the Lancet arch, the Equilateral arch, the Flamboyant arch, and the Depressed arch.
- Gothic openings such as doorways, windows, arcades, and galleries have pointed arches.
- Niches with pointed arches that contain statuary are a major external feature.
- Ogival, or pointed arches, increased in popularity in the Gothic period.
-
- English Gothic architecture (c. 1180–1520) is defined by pointed arches, vaulted roofs, buttresses, large windows, and spires.
- This style is defined by pointed arches, vaulted roofs, buttresses, large windows, and spires.
- The most significant characteristic development of the Early English period was the pointed arch known as the lancet.
- Compared with the rounded Romanesque style, the pointed arch of the Early English Gothic is aesthetically more elegant and is more efficient at distributing the weight of stonework, making it possible to span higher and wider gaps using narrower columns.
- Using the pointed arch, walls could become less massive and window openings could be larger and grouped more closely together, so architects could achieve more open, airy, and graceful buildings.
-
- Gothic architecture was developed in France and was characterized by lancet, or pointed, archways used for both windows and doorways.
- The interior of the Cathedral, including the groin vaults and pointed arches, demonstrates the Gothic elements of its architecture quite clearly.
-
- Massive cylindrical piers, groin vaults and low-relief sculptural decoration support rounded arches, arcades, characterize Romanesque churches.
- The desire to increase window space drove the development of new structural techniques, which constitute most of the other distinctive features of the style: pointed arches, rib vaults, buttresses and pinnacles.
- It is typified by the simplicity of its vaults and tracery, the use of lancet windows and smaller amounts of sculptural decoration than either Romanesque or later varieties of Gothic.
-
- This is sometimes referred to as arch action.
- As the forces in the arch are carried to the ground, the arch will push outward at the base; this is called thrust.
- Circular arches, also referred to as rounded arches, were commonly employed by the builders of ancient, heavy masonry arches.
- The advantage of using a pointed arch rather than a circular arch is that the arch action in a pointed arch produces less thrust at the base.
- Of any arch type, the parabolic arch produces the most thrust at the base, but can span the largest areas.
-
- An arch is a pure compression form.
- As the forces in the arch are carried to the ground, the arch will push outward at the base, called thrust.
- Multiple arches can be used together to create a vault.
- Roman aqueducts are another iconic use of the arch.
- The arches that make up an aqueduct provided support without requiring the amount of building material necessary for arches supported by solid walls.
-
- The Roman Arch of Septimius Severus recalls the triumphal arch of Augustus, also erected to honor his own victory over the Parthians.
- Like Augustus's arch, that of Septimius is a triple arch--the only surviving one in Rome.
- The Arch of Septimius Severus at Leptis Magna is architecturally distinct and unique in comparison to the triumphal arches of Rome.
- This arch is four-sided and acts as a gateway into the city.
- Despite its very different design, the arch's components are in dialogue with the triumphal arch in Rome.
-
- For example, walls may be made of different materials, or arches and openings may vary in shape.
- A characteristic feature of Romanesque architecture, both ecclesiastic and domestic, is the pairing of two arched windows or arcade openings, separated by a pillar or colonette and often set within a larger arch.
- Although basically rectangular, piers can often be of highly complex form, with half-segments of large hollow-core columns on the inner surface supporting the arch, or a clustered group of smaller shafts leading into the moldings of the arch.
- Piers that occur at the intersection of two large arches, such as those under the crossing of the nave and transept, are commonly cruciform in shape, each arch having its own supporting rectangular pier at right angles to the other.
- Characteristics of Romaesque architecture include the ocular window and the pairing of two arched windows or arcade openings within a larger arch, both of which seen here at the Abbey Church of St.
-
- In France, Gothic architecture emerged and was characterized by dramatic flying buttresses, lancet archways, an increased use of stain glass, and elevated heights for civic and religious buildings.
