*grumblegrumble* Stupid e-book and it's complete lack of artwork...

It looks very similar to the map of the bottom half of Landing (some of the names are different). There certainly is room for arches everywhere.
...alternatively, what if they just have a bunch of lift crystals embedded into the ceiling at regular intervals?

Sweet, thanks. I think the dark spots on the cardinal points and center are likely some sort of connecting structure, and it's possibly those circles at the 4 crossroad points could be columns as well.

Well, all the pieces are there, narrative speaking. Crystals would need constant power, but the Spire itself seems to naturally channel and conduct etheric energy, so it could have such powered systems right along side the ventilation and other built-in life support systems. But if that is the case, I fully expect that system to be disrupted and for an entire spire to fall down, before the 9 books are done.

It's hard to see from the image, but the space at the cardinal points are where the nobel houses are. The four circles are (I think) the four spiral staircases that go from the base of the spire to the top.

Spirestone might magically be sufficiently strong on it's own, but yes, I would expect habble Landing to collapse at some point if this was the case.

I found a quote that says the second floor is stone
--- Quote ---The ceiling was perhaps two or three pounces above them,and made of conventional stone, rather than the spirestone. The humans of Habble Landing had halved the height of the tunnels as well
