Detailed explanation-1: -In architecture, a vault (French voûte, from Italian volta) is a self-supporting arched form, usually of stone or brick, serving to cover a space with a ceiling or roof. As in building an arch, a temporary support is needed while rings of voussoirs are constructed and the rings placed in position.
Detailed explanation-2: -A vault is an arched ceiling or roof of stone, brick or concrete, sometimes imitated in wood or plaster. A dome is a vault of even curvature on a circular base.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some designers use the terms “vaulted ceilings” and “cathedral ceilings” interchangeably, but there is a technical difference: A cathedral ceiling is typically not arched, instead following the pitch of the roof, while a vaulted ceiling incorporates an arch design within the triangular pitch of the roof.
