@Abdulhadi Alade Tihamiyu Eniafe thank you for this list of articles
Arches (as well as domes) are the result of a dialogue between material and structure (the space it spans). To understand the true design of arches and domes, one must look back to times when construction and aesthetics were intertwined. This is not a stylistic endeavor. Numerous nations (Gulf / MENA) now adopt a pseudo-arch as an iconic element to be cast in concrete.
I'm glad you're looking for an explanation from the perspective of geometry, construction, technology, and historical evolution. That's a great start.
I'll keep monitoring the debates and feeds.

Islamic architecture arches are categorized into four main styles: pointed, ogee, horseshoe, and multifoil. The pointed arch features a rounded design with a tapered apex. This type of arch would eventually become an important element of Gothic architecture
