=== Umbrella dome === [[File:Chiesa di santa croce, cappella dei pazzi, cupola 1.JPG|thumb|Umbrella dome ([[Santa Croce, Florence]])]] Also called ''gadrooned'',{{sfn|Yaghan|2003|p=69}} ''fluted'',{{sfn|Yaghan|2003|p=69}} ''organ-piped'',{{sfn|Yaghan|2003|p=69}} ''pumpkin'',{{sfn|Fleming|Honour|Pevsner|1991|p=127}} ''melon'',{{sfn|Fleming|Honour|Pevsner|1991|p=127}} ''ribbed'',{{sfn|Yaghan|2003|p=69}} ''parachute'',{{sfn|Fleming|Honour|Pevsner|1991|p=127}} ''scalloped'',{{sfn|Krautheimer|1980|pp=121, 132}} or ''lobed'' domes,{{sfn|Ward|1915|pp=116β117}} these are a type of dome divided at the base into curved segments, which follow the curve of the [[Multiview orthographic projection#Elevation|elevation]].{{sfn|Fleming|Honour|Pevsner|1991|p=127}} "Fluted" may refer specifically to this pattern as an external feature, such as was common in [[Mamluk architecture|Mamluk Egypt]].{{sfn|Hourihane|2012|p=302}} The "ribs" of a dome are the radial lines of masonry that extend from the crown down to the springing.{{sfn|Dumser|2010|p=436}} The central dome of the [[Hagia Sophia]] uses the ribbed method, which accommodates a ring of windows between the ribs at the base of the dome. The central dome of [[St. Peter's Basilica]] also uses this method.
