On the supposition that the bounding curves of every vault cell can be reckoned as vertical sections of spherical surfaces, it results in severe, yet expressive models of a wide range of vault shapes, revealing feasible computer representations of several vault types appearing in the books of architectural history either in textual or non-textual forms. }, number={1}, journal={Periodica Polytechnica Architecture}, author={Strommer, László}, year={2008}, pages={27–34} }
