Pendentives: Pendentives are curved triangular structures that support a dome by transitioning from the round base to the square shape of the building below it. They often feature decorative elements such as mosaics or frescoes.

Vaulting: Vaulting refers to constructing arched or domed ceilings using stone or brick. It is often seen in Gothic cathedrals and provides structural support while also creating visually stunning spaces.
