Arc boutants


Inventés vers la fin de la période romane dans l'architecture normande, ils sont alors dissimulés sous la toiture dans les combles par des murs-boutants, comme le chevet du Prieuré Saint-Martin-des-Champs à Paris. Les arcs-boutants sont d'abord utilisés par les architectes gothiques pour consolider les églises romanes qui menacent de s'effondrer quand leur voûte principale est trop haute, puis ils transforment ce contrefort de secours en un élément architectural et décoratif, destiné à assurer l'équilibre des hautes voûtes nervées.
Invented towards the end of the Romanesque period in Norman architecture, they were then hidden under the roof in the attic by flying buttresses, like the apse of the Priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs in Paris. Flying buttresses were first used by Gothic architects to consolidate Romanesque churches which threatened to collapse when their main vault was too high, then they transformed this relief buttress into an architectural and decorative element, intended to ensure the balance of the high ribbed vaults.
