Textured
A textured intrados takes advantage of a non-smooth surface to create an architectural discourse on the stereotomic intrados. This texture might be highly geometrized, like to the intrados of the chapel of Chateau d’Anet, efficiently diverting the reading of the surface subdivision from a hosohedron to a helicoidal arrangement; or abstractly rough as the case of the Armadillo Vault intrados which reduces the need for exhaustive subtractive fabrication and provides a tectonic aesthetics derived from the thrust vectors direction.
