In
architecture, a
hypostyle hall has a flat ceiling which is supported by columns, as in the
Great Hypostyle Hall at
Karnak. In this case the columns flanking the central avenue are of greater height than those of the side aisles, and this allows openings in the wall above the smaller columns, through which light is admitted over the aisle roof, through
clerestory windows.
