What is an "ogive"?

An ogive is a curved architectural element that resembles an arch, characterized by a smooth, continuous curve without any sharp angles. This shape often features two opposing curves that meet at a point, creating a graceful and elongated form. Ogives are commonly used in Gothic architecture, particularly in ribbed vaults and windows, adding elegance and height to structures. Their design allows for effective weight distribution, making them not only visually appealing but also functional in supporting the architecture. The ogive contributes to the overall aesthetic of a building, enhancing its beauty and style.
