Handcrafted vaulted Catalan brick roof, Boveda catalana

Boveda Catalana - Art Of Bricklaying

Boveda Catalana - The Catalonian roof, is a beautiful form for a roof and a weekend mason's nightmare.

This style is usually made with supports, line strings etc. This guy just... does it.

I found it interesting, how wet mortar he uses. Possibly because a thick seam would take too long to dry, and this way he can use the mortar as glue?

Bring on the inevitable bricklaying jokes.
