can you name the ceiling feature(s) depicted in this image?

http://www.nbbd.com/godo/moore/gall...907-ceiling.jpg

I am looking for the formal terminology used for the beams, the black
connectors,
and the overall style. I seem to remember there being a formal name for
this, but
cannot recall it at this time.

tia for any help.
