A » A ribbed vault is an architectural feature that supports ceilings by distributing the weight of the roof through a series of intersecting stone ribs. These ribs create a framework that allows for a more stable and lighter construction. By directing the load to specific points, ribbed vaults enable the design of higher ceilings and larger spans, enhancing both structural integrity and aesthetic grandeur in cathedrals and large buildings.
