Want this question answered?
I am probably helping some 8th grader on their test based on how ackwardly this question is stated, but here goes: I think you are asking "what feature of gothic architecture allowed for the construction of larger, taller cathedrals."

Flying buttresses were added to Gothic Cathedrals to provide more support. Gothic Cathedrals were pretty big, so the wall alone was not always enough to withstand all that pressure.
Artists who painted in the International Gothic style?
