Yes, Gothic Architecture and Art, also known as Medieval Architecture and Art, is the product of multiple generations of influence. Characteristics of Gothic Architecture include the pointed arch, ribbed vault and flying buttress. Spanning from the 12th to the 16th century Gothic architecture, also termed "French Style" flourished and peaked during the high and late medieval period. The heart of the art evolved from Romanesque architecture, which later developed into Renaissance architecture.
Interestingly, the term "Gothic" used to describe this form of architecture is quite misleading as it implies that this genre of architectural design was heavily influenced by the Goths or Visigoth tribes. In actuality, those tribes were vanquished by the 6th century and thus their influence on Gothic design is non-existent. It is by mere convention that the term "Gothic Architecture" is used to describe these distinctive designs.
The influence of Gothic architecture can be seen in castles, palaces, houses, universities and town halls. Gothic designs are prominent all over the world, especially in European countries. No matter where the designs are found, the powerful beauty of Gothic architecture is pronounced and distinctive, and it is an element of architectural design that is awesome and mysterious at the same time.
Gothic art began in the Medieval period with architecture and sculptures. Gothic art today is very different from the art back then.
Renaissance architecture was a dominant style between the 15th and 16th centuries. The emphasis on symmetry and proportion marked a return to classical Roman architecture it followed the Gothic architectural period (late medieval). which had moved away from Romanesque architecture. Instead favoring the pointed arch and buttresses favored in ecclesiastical buildings.
During the medieval period the main style of architecture was Gothic.

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.
There wasn't a "Gothic" period in America since it didn't exist in the middle ages when it first took place. The Gothic movement in America brought many buildings and art in the early 1920's. These were copied from earlier Gothic art in Europe. Gothic design came to America as "Gothic Revival" also known as collegiate revival.Collegiate Gothic Revival is a subgenre of Gothic Revival that began in 1894. The most famous building to mark the beginning of this revival is Pembroke Hall on the campus of Bryn Mawr College. Gothic design and art was injected into university and college architectural design during the 20th century and remained popular for many American and European university designs.
No, only Gothic style architecture developed from the Gothic period. Fashion came later in the neo-gothic era.
