In order for the space to provide self reflection, it is light that acts as a concrete example of service and in gaze (Stern, page 26).

The Gothic style begins in 1119 and appears in the French palace such as the palace of Avignon near Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral and the Palais de la Cité in Paris, which was the home of French King until 1417. Although Palais de la Cité has disappeared, it is along the two original towers along the Seine River and the arched ceiling of the arsenal (1302) (now in the conciergeuri, along the original chapel). The building of the largest citizen in Gothic architecture was built between 1252 and 1364 when the Pope escaped from the political turmoil surrounding Rome and the war at the pope's palace (palace).

The Sainte-Chapelle completed in 1248 is the only place left in the palace built by King Louis XV (1226-70). The masonry of Sainte-Chapelle was designed to support a wide area of ​​glass, becoming the most influential building of the era. Shape and decoration now replace the main purpose of Gothic architecture from height and volume. Smaller buildings can give new attention to details and refinement. Regional building practices also influenced Gothic construction. In northern Germany and the Baltic sea area, the main building materials are bricks, creating a great appearance. In Central Europe, the gothic ceiling ribs have evolved into beautiful stars and mesh patterns.
