      abstract = {The book focuses on all typological aspects of arches and  vaults within the heritage of design and construction,  while bringing attention to new "green" materials,  promoting a circular economy informed by limitations caused  by global warming. The multidisciplinary approach involves  several different competences in architecture, structural  engineering, conservation and restoration, geomatics, BIM,  building engineering, the technology and history of  construction, graphical methods of assessment, and  innovative design that utilizes non-polluting materials.  After an overview of the technical and aesthetic advantages  of masonry vaults, there is a review of the most up-to-date  trends in historic preservation. Classic methods of static  assessment and innovative building technologies are  detailed. Surveying methods and data acquisition are  discussed, particularly laser scanning technology and its  applications in heritage masonry curved structures. Next  comes the experimental static and dymanic behavior of  masonry vaults, followed by a critical revision of Distinct  Element innovative computerized Methods. An explanation as  to how to pass from classic stability analysis to an  adaptive Finite Element Method limit analysis procedure is  offered. Reinterpretation of the past is then undertaken,  with an eye towards emphasizing sustainability. Finally,  the conclusion examines still existing gaps in knowledge  and recommends avenues of future research.},
