  • Pointed Arch (Architecture) Essay

    ...Rida Ilyas Mr. Naveed Sheikh Materials and Construction 2nd Semester, Architecture April 16th, 2013 POINTED ARCHES An arch is an architectural structure which helps support a structure and the weight above that structure. Arches appeared as early as the 2nd millennium BC in Mesopotamian brick architecture. The systematic use of Arches started with ancient Romans. They were the first to have applied the techniques of arch to a wide range of structures. Pointed arch is one of the most important types of Arches. It is an arch with a pointed apex. Another name for pointed arch is “ogival arch”. ‘Ogive’ means a pointed curve. Today, the pointed arch remains a common feature in the European churches. It is a very important feature of European Gothic architecture and Islamic Architecture. The question is where did the pointed arch originate from? Early historians of architecture such as Havell (1913) and Rivoira (1914) thought that the pointed arch occurred in India carved out of a solid block of some seventh century temples. However, this information has been dismissed by a famous historian, Hill (1993). Hill believed the Muslim origin of the invention of the pointed arch, which is today, believed to be the truth. Before the discovery of Pointed arches, round arches and barrel vaults were used to make ceilings. These arches...

  • Gothic Arch Essay

    ...to the medieval builders, which would have permitted the same development structurally, the use of the rib-vault was not necessary and the use of it could only be based on its aesthetic superiority. The use of the vault to enclose space developed from a principally structural use at its origin to one largely aesthetic by the Gothic period. The use of the vault originated in the dry Mediterranean countries and in the Near East, where wood was scarce, as it permitted the use of unit masonry to span large distances. Originally it formed ceiling, structure, and weather membrane, but as its use spread to regions of heavier rainfall and more severe weather fluctuations, additional weatherproofing was needed. The Romans made frequent use of the arch and its vault and dome derivatives, using them in small construction covered with rubble fill and topped with a tile roof, and in large construction, such as the Pantheon, as an independent dome sheathed in metal. The Byzantines continued the development of the dome, and by the Romanesque period vaulting, though of a low degree of sophistication, was again used in the West, usually as a tunnel or square bay vault protected from the weather by a separate wood truss roof system above it. By the Gothic period, then, the vault had come to be used merely as a method of spanning interior spaces . . . as a ceiling rather than as a structurally complete roofing system. Typical fissuring in gothic vaulting, usually caused by...

  • Arch of titus Essay

    ... The Arch provides one of the few contemporary depictions of Temple period artifacts.[6][7] The seven-branched menorah and trumpets are clearly depicted. It became a symbol of the Jewish diaspora. In a later era, Pope Paul IV made it the place of a yearly oath of submission. Jews refuse to walk under it.[citation needed] The menorah depicted on the Arch served as the model for the menorah used on the emblem of the state of Israel.[citation needed]However, when the existence of modern State of Israel was formally declared, the entire Roman Jewish community spontaneously gathered by the arch and in joyful celebration, walked backwards under the arch to symbolize beginning of the long-awaited redemption from the Roman Exile.[8] The inscription in Roman square capitals reads: SENATVS POPVLVSQVE·ROMANVS DIVO·TITO·DIVI·VESPASIANI·F(ILIO) VESPASIANO·AVGVSTO (Senatus Populusque Romanus divo Tito divi Vespasiani filio Vespasiano Augusto) which means "The Roman Senate and People (dedicate this) to the divine Titus Vespasianus Augustus, son of the divine Vespasian." The opposite side of the Arch of Titus received new inscriptions after it was restored during the pontificate of Pope Pius VII by Giuseppe Valadier in 1821. The restoration was intentionally made in travertine to differentiate between the original and the restored portions. The inscription reads: INSIGNE · RELIGIONIS · ATQVE · ARTIS ·...

  • Essay on Arch of Constantine

    ...Senate of Rome honored him with a triumphal arch just 3 years later. This arch is said to be the oldest obtainable arch in Rome made with spolia (See fig.1). The arch, positioned in the valley of the Colosseum between the Palatine Hill and the Colosseum, is the largest of only three arches to endure in Rome today. Several of the attractive sculptures on the Arch of Constantine were taken and included from other monuments. For example, the eight roundels set in pairs above the side arches symbolizing scenes of hunting and sacrifice, are from the time of Hadrian. Also, the eight rectangular reliefs in the attic we brought from an arch that was made in AD 176 to celebrate the numerous victories of Marcus Aurelius. Finally, standing on the cornice on top of the columns, the eight Dacian captives, come from the Forum of Trajan. I have found the Arch of Constantine’s constructional set up to be extremely exclusive and memorable. Therefore, throughout my paper I will concentrate on speaking of its Corinthian order, the position of the arch, and its components. First off, the Corinthian order is said to be the most elaborate of the classic orders of architecture. It became completely developed during the middle of the 4th century B.C., making it the latest order. The arch is divided by four columns of Corinthian order constructed with Numidian...

  • Essay about The Arch of Constantine

    ...The Arch of Constantine has stood as one of the triumphal symbols in Rome, along with the Triumphal Arch, and the Arch of Titus. It was in 313 A.D, when Emperor Constantine the Great established what is known as the largest arch in Rome, situated near the Colosseum. Through the structure, the reliefs, and the mixture of historic scriptural decoration, the Arch of Constantine communicates a manipulative message of Imperial power. In addition, it is in the Formalist approach: consisting of line, shape and other various features, as well as the Marxist approach: which deals with the manipulation of art by the ruling class and conveying of social messages, that we can witness this message of Roman imperialism. Firstly, in its formalistic attributes, the monument holds a definite symmetrical appearance, consisting of three openings with the middle opening being the center of focus, as it is the largest of the three. As for the arch itself, it is made from pure marble with an evident repetition in components of four: from the columns, to the medallions, and also the Dacian statues on the attic of the monument, which were taken from the time of Trajan. As well, the rest of the arch is lavished with decorations of the original reliefs as well as the reliefs of other emperors from earlier monuments like Hadrian, Trajan, and Marcus Aurelius. In turn, the combinations of...

  • Describe of the Gateway Arch Research Paper

    ...The St. Louis Gateway Arch is an elegant monument to westward expansion in the USA. Located on the banks of the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri, the 630-foot tall stainless steel arch rises above the city skyline. The Jefferson National Expansion Memorial consists of the Gateway Arch, the Museum of Westward Expansion, and St. Louis' Old Courthouse. How the design was chosen: There was a nationwide competition in 1947-1948 to design a monument in St. Louis honoring western pioneers. The architect Eero Saarinen (August 20, 1910 - September 1, 1961) won the contest with his sleek arch. Construction: Construction of the arch began on February 12, 1963, and was finished on October 28, 1965. It was opened to the public on July 24, 1967. (after one of the trams was completed). It cost about 13 million dollars to build. The two bases are equilateral triangles (triangles with three 54 foot-long sides). At the top of the arch, the triangle is only 17 feet long on each side. Visitors enter the arch from an underground visitors center and can travel to the observation deck at the top in a 40-passenger tram that runs inside the arch. The arch has 60-foot deep foundations. The arch is very stable and was built to withstand high winds and earthquakes. The structure sways about one inch in a 20 mph wind; it is designed to sway up to...

  • Parabolic Arch Essay

    ...A parabolic arch is a very complex, yet extremely simple arch all at the same time. It is also referred to as a catenary arch. It was developed fairly recently and is used around the world. This arch consists of a relatively simple equation, and one can discover many of its characteristics from its equation if he or she makes use of it. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this equation is that one of the landmarks in the United States is a catenary arch. To begin, many arches were developed before the catenary ach and the parabolic arch were produced. Many of these arches, which were used by the ancient Romans, were semicircular and had keystones at the topmost part of them. However, these were some of the weakest arches made, despite the fact that this particular arch’s shape is the simplest to build. Later, the catenary and parabolic arch were introduced into construction by a Spanish architect named Antoni Gaudi. These arches were theoretically some of the strongest ever made. The parabolic curve, or arch, was formally discovered by the ancient Greeks. The mathematical genius of this curve is that the focus to the curve and the curve to the directrix is the same length. Therefore, when one applies pressure to the curve or arch, the entire arch is able to hold the weight, and it doesn’t fail because there isn’t a...
