Definition of a "Flying Buttress" A vertical stone arch support(normally in a cone or pyramid shape) , sticking (or extends, "flies") out from the roof to a pier, to keep vertical pressure, enhancing stability. Normally hidden. Allows creation of high ceiling walled churches typical of Gothic Architecture. -Bernay.
The support structure you are referring to is called a buttress. Buttresses are typically made of stone or concrete and are built adjacent to the wall, providing additional support and stability to the structure. They help to distribute the weight of the arch, vault, or ceiling and prevent the wall from buckling or collapsing due to the pressure.
Most likely the same way the Egyptians did, building a ramp. In this case they must have built up a bridging of temporary stones between the supporting columns so they are of same level, then by building ramps on both sides to buttress the whole unit, so it is strong enough to support the overhead stone being pulled up one of the ramps, when they were done and the stone was in place, they simply removed the ramps along with the temporary bridging of stones between the columns.
Gothic architecture is typically overly decorated, richly designed and very flamboyant. Some typical features are flying buttresses, ribbed vaults and gothic, pointed arches.Also known for:excessive boldness, distinct sections of inordinate detail, and into designs with extreme delicacy and fancy patterns. Moreover, much like the beauty and passion the Arabs injected into their poetry and literary works of the time, their architectural designs originated from a delicate taste of superfluous ornaments, extravagant detail and a desire to communicate to their audience a love for art and detail.Gothic Architecture, also known as Medieval Architecture, 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 fromRomanesque architecture, which later developed into Renaissance architecture.
