Yes, newly made with stones
Bourth (X) Oct 22, 2005:
So it is "original" in the sense of "newly made", not something on an old building? What is the vault made of (stone, brick, steel, etc.)?
Diane de Cicco (asker) Oct 22, 2005:
They are part of an original construction (a student workshop on vault building)
