Which of the following is not true?

Answer

A

The springing line of an arch is an imaginary line that goes between the two points from which the arch springs into its curve.

B

Architects are concerned only on the aesthetic appeal of architecture.

C

A corbel dome is essentially created by rotating corbel arches.

D

The keystone of an arch is the last piece put in and holds the voussoirs in place.

Explanation

Architects consider both the appearance of a building and practical requirements such as safety, function, and structure. So the claim that they are concerned only with aesthetic appeal is not true. The other statements describe the springing line, corbel domes, and keystones correctly.
