+The **pointed arch** is an architectural form distinguished by its apex, rising to a point rather than a smooth curve. This elegant design, appearing in [Islamic Art](/wiki/Islamic_Art) and central to [Gothic Architecture](/wiki/Gothic_Architecture), efficiently directs weight downwards. It allows for taller and more slender wall structures compared to its rounded predecessor.
