What is a "spandrel"?
A spandrel is the triangular or curved space between the outer curve of an arch and the surrounding wall or frame. It often appears in structures with multiple arches, such as bridges or buildings with arched doorways or windows. Spandrels can serve both structural and decorative purposes, sometimes filled with carvings or other ornamental details, enhancing the visual appeal of the space while helping support the arches. They play an important role in distributing the weight of the arches and maintaining the overall balance of the structure.
Example
