Gothic Architecture
Gothic architecture, briefly de
fined, is that in which structures
are built with ribs that intersect
and in which thrusts are stopped by
buttresses. Whereas Romanesque
depended on thick walls, Gothic
went to the other extreme, with
walls that were mere shells, and
with an active skeleton or bone
structure of stone, consisting of
piers, arches, and buttresses. Thr
common buttress and the flying
buttress, the last named were typ
ical of Gothic architecture, as was
the pointed arch.
