Summary
Aragón's medieval brick-vaulted architecture reveals sophisticated geometric strategies that enabled the expansion and development of ribbed vaults. Unlike the well-documented stone-based systems, these brick constructions relied on unique graphical and geometric approaches, particularly in their late-Gothic phase. Through a detailed analysis of four case studies from the Kingdom of Aragón, researchers uncovered the precise methods used by master builders to design and construct these intricate structures, shedding light on a lesser-studied yet equally advanced aspect of Mudejar architecture.
