I have this sentence in an architecture context:
The concept of the pointed arch allowed architects to change the way they approached vaults in churches and cathedrals.
I’m wondering what the meaning of “vaults” is. I tried googling it and searching in the dictionary but I couldn’t find the meaning because as you might know that word has many meanings.
If you could give me a photo of it I would appreciate it!
Answer
In that case, a vault is simply, “a roof or ceiling in the form of an arch or a series of arches.”
