Best Answer

Arch distributes the pressure of the building's weight to the supporting columns and walls. To build arch, position the wooden framework called scaffolding and the wooden centrings frames, then place the arch stones or voussoirs on the top of the frames. Once the keystones are in place, remove the scaffolding and fill the space above the arch.
