Curved or rounded on both sides, creating an arched appearance from multiple angles.
From Greek 'amphi-' (both) + 'kyrtos' (curved or bent). A geometric or architectural term describing symmetrical curvature.
Amphicyrtic architecture appears in domed buildings and rounded structures—when both sides curve toward each other, you create the strongest possible form under compression, which is why domes have been engineering marvels since ancient Rome.
