Quote:Okay, here is a slight pet peeve of mine. By Gothic architecture, I'll assume you mean buildings that were built in the Gothic era or to buildings that were built to emulate it. Either way, to be very honest, Gothic architecture has little to do with darkness or morbidity. The actually emphasis was closer to light.Don't forget the pointed arches. Previously, the arches in European architecture had been completely rounded for the most part.
