What is the relationship between spirituality and Gothic architecture?
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.

What is the defintition of gothic architecture?
In terms of architecture, the Gothic style is exemplified by Gothic churches and cathedrals. These structures tend to be very ornate and quite tall, with tall spires and towers. They also typically possess Gothic, or pointed, arches. Because of the height of these structures and the resulting instability of such tall walls made only of stone, they are commonly supported on the outside walls by structural supports called flying buttresses. The overall idea is to give the structure the appearance, and in most cases the reality, of vertical height, which is meant not only to convey the importance of God, but also to point directly to heaven. The Gothic style of architecture flourished in the high and late medieval period in Europe. It evolved from the Romanesque architectural style and was succeeded by the Renaissance style. It originated in France in the 12th century and lasted until the 16th century, and the style includes the pointed arch, ribbed vault, and flying buttress. Gothic architecture is most familiar as the architecture of many of the great cathedrals, abbeys, and parish churches of Europe. It is also the architecture of many castles, palaces, town halls, guild halls, universities, and to a less prominent extent, private dwellings. Other common indicators of Gothic cathedrals: 1. The Rose Window (large, round stained-glass window) 2. Stylized statues (saints & holy figures have cylindrical, almost androgynous bodies) 3. Floor plan is in the shape of a cross, as in the design of St. Peter's Basilica. 4. The carved facades usually contain vertical elements in continuous repetition (the illusion of height, as stated above). ------ Gothic style clothing is normally all black. Sometimes they may wear colors but very light colors and their nails will more than likely be black.
