Gothic Architecture in Europe

The research papers will focus on the European Gothic architecture - UK, France, Germany, Italy - from the 12th century to the 16th century. Architecture is the most primitive and lasting art form of the Gothic era and lasted from the mid-12th to the 4th century. The driving force behind this architecture is the Roman Catholic church. And it tries to portray their chapel as something beyond the human kingdom. It is worth noting that many of the Northern European regions are mainly infidels and have just recently entered the church.

Gothic architecture flourished in Europe during the late Middle Ages and later generations. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and replaced by Renaissance style architecture. Gothic architecture, which began in France in the 12th century and continued till the 16th century, was called Opus Francigenum ("French work") during this period and the Gothic style first appeared in the second half of the Renaissance era. Its features include a pointed arch, a vaulted rib (developed from a combined vault of Romanesque buildings), and a flying arch. The most familiar Gothic architecture is the architecture of many cathedrals, monasteries and European churches.

As with Gothic architecture in other parts of Europe, English Gothic architecture is defined by a pointed arch, an arched roof, a buttress, a big window, a spire. The Gothic style was introduced from France and was created by Abbott Sugar and was originally used together in the building of the choir squad of Saint-Denis church in northern Paris built on 11th June 1144 . The first large-scale Gothic architecture work in the UK was in Canterbury Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. Many of the features of Gothic architecture developed naturally from Romanesque architecture (commonly known as Norman architecture in the UK). This evolution is especially noticeable in the Norman Durham cathedral with the high dome with the earliest pointed ribs.

Built in European architecture from the mid-12th century to the 16th century Gothic architecture, in particular the brick building style featuring cave space, the walls are covered with covered windows. From the 12th century to the 13th century, more and more buildings became possible due to the achievements of engineering technology. Rib vault rooms, flying struts, and sharp (gothic) arches are used to solve the problem of constructing very high structures while retaining as much natural light as possible. Stained glass sash brings surprisingly sunny interior effect. The Monastery of Parisundni (circa 1135 - 44) is one of the earliest buildings that integrated these elements. French rule dominated the Gothic era (about 1250 - 1300) predicted by the Chartres cathedral, especially with the development of the Rayonant style. The architecture of the late Gothic style (15th century) peaked at the German arched hall church
