Catenary Arches
Through my research I have found that many diffterent architects in addition to Gaudi have used catenary arches in their buildings. One of the most prominent examples is Robert Hooke's the rebuilding of St. Paul's Cathedral. However, even though the equation for these arches came later there are ancient ruins of these arches that can be found all over the world, for instance the Taq-i Kisra in Ctesiphon, Iraq. In general catenary arches are most commonly used in churches and bridges.
