| Description |
This tomb is an excellent example to show the corner treatment for this style of octagonal tomb. The actual tomb chamber inside is also an octagon, and that presents no problems for creating the dome over it, but the octagonal shape does cause problems for the surrounding passageway. This is countered by creating these "irregular quadrilateral" or trapezium shaped vaults that span the space between the dome-covered, arch-sided, square spaces over the entrance and screened walls on one side, and the corner arches on the other. Note that there will be eight corner arches in this design. The corner arch itself gets thicker from the apex to the to the outer springing line, and thinner from the apex to the inner springing line. The rib in the middle of the arch is concave as it moves to the outer springing line, and convex as it moves to the inner springing line. All in all, a very satisfactory attention to detail highlighting the structural elements of the design! |
