Deutsche Welle ran an interesting video piece as a part of their Tomorrow Today series about the architectural mystery of the vaulted arches found in many German castles and cathedrals built years ago. If you’ve visited some older castles in Germany and looked up at the ceilings, you may have noticed the strange arches that veer of in many directions and wondered why they were made in such strange patterns. Researchers in Dresden have been puzzled by this rare architectural design and in this video discuss how they have discovered that it may just be the reason why so many of these buildings are still standing today.
Deutsche Welle has not yet made the video available to embed, but you can view it on their site using this link:
