An ambitious project never fully completed, of which this crypt was finished in 1916 (and disastrously restored in 2002).
The form and geometry of the crypt was cunningly worked out by loading an upside-down model of the structure in tension, and photographing the resulting load paths to be built in compression.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
