Catalan Vaulting is a system of ooverlapping layers of tiles and can create incredibly open spans (no internal supports) that are relatively light and very strong. | |

On the ground floor you can cover it with any candy you like - this isn't entirely true, for a few reasons - living creatures produce lots of water vapour through sweating/ breathing/ cooking/ showering/ that time you spilt something etc, and the job of a vapour barrier in your home is to prevent that water entering the structure. In most parts of the world, the ground is pretty much permanently damp as well, meaning a suitable damp barrier is needed underneath a property too. Great answer though!

Hydro means water (like hydrodam). Phobic comes from phobia, or fear of. A hydrofobic material repels water, seemingly even more than most water-resistant materials. It can help a lot of loose sugar to float: m.youtube.com/watch?v=XJqy7k2IEzQ | |

But could you better explain or link to what hydrophobic sugars are? | |
