Notre‑Dame’s structure is distributed logic. Ribs collect loads; webs carry them; buttresses return them to ground.


📊 Elements & Effects

Element Role Effect
Rib Collector Focus thrusts at supports
Web Membrane Distribute between ribs
Buttress Restraint Counter lateral thrust

  • Slenderness: Piers sized to limit buckling.
  • Continuity: Joints grouted to maintain paths.

Transept vaults

Structure is a chorus—each component sings a line.
