What is a "reverse ogee arch"?
A reverse ogee arch is an architectural feature characterized by its distinctive shape, which resembles an S-curve that is inverted compared to a regular ogee arch. This arch consists of two curves that flow outward and then inward at the top, creating a striking and elegant form. Reverse ogee arches are often found in Islamic and Gothic architecture, adding a decorative element to doorways, windows, and other architectural details. Their unique design not only provides structural support but also enhances the visual appeal of buildings, contributing to a rich and intricate aesthetic.
