A » A pendentive is a curved triangular architectural element that allows a circular dome to be placed atop a square base. It transitions the weight of the dome into the four corners of the square, effectively distributing the load and providing stability. The pendentives curve inward and upward, creating a seamless and elegant connection between the dome and the supporting walls or columns below.
