Record 2 1999-06-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Architecture
CONT

There are two features of the ceiling of St Machar's which strike one immediately. In the first place it is a flat ceiling. This, as far as we can judge, was unusual in a Scottish medieval church where wooden ceilings were normally given the shape of a barrel vault or of an ogival vault such as that of King's College Chapel.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Architecture
DEF

Voûte à plusieurs quartiers dont les rencontres se font sur une ossature de branches d'ogives; celles-ci, reportant les charges de la voûte vers les piliers d'angle des travées, ont enlevé aux murs leur rôle porteur, permettant ainsi leur amincissement sans risque, et l'élargissement des baies.

OBS

La voûte d'ogives comporte de nombreuses variantes : voûte sexpartite, octopartite, voûtes à nervures multiples [...], voûtes à clef pendante ou à retombée centrale, etc.

OBS

voûte d'ogives : cette voûte, qui semble dérivée de la voûte d'arêtes, est techniquement très différente du fait de ses nervures porteuses. La voûte d'ogives a été déterminante pour le développement de l'architecture gothique.
