The arch in architecture is a curved structure that spans an opening or a void in a building. The arch is a fundamental element of many architectural styles and has been used for centuries in construction. It is an efficient way to distribute weight and can be used to support walls, roofs, and other structures. The arch is not just a decorative feature, but it also serves a functional purpose. It allows for the creation of larger spaces without the need for columns or walls to support them. The arch has become a symbol of strength and stability in architecture and is often used in the design of buildings that require a sense of grandeur.
