The relationship between Gothic architecture and spirituality is quite interesting. Gothic architecture is one of my favorites because many influences from other styles of architecture are added to the bold touch of the Middle Ages, which some consider strangely dark and grotesque. Certainly spirituality had much to do with the style that became known as Gothic architecture. One of the best ways to find out about this relationship is to read the assigned readings in the text for the course. The relationship is identifed very clearly in a fascinating manner! Try reading.
