This book presents an exploration of the arch from the points of view of architecture, mathematics, engineering, construction history, and cultural symbolism. Leonardo da Vinci described the arch as two weaknesses which, leaning on each other, become a strength, a metaphor for the way that science and art lean on each other to strengthen our lives.
