Gothic Cathedrals

Pre-Geomettry

Creating grand cathedrals

One to two square root

Gothic cathedrals are a winder all on their own. With their arches, glass windows, and vaults they created the basic structure of what is known as "The Gothic Structure". Their arches are know for being two centered, and pointed at the top. They frame everything from vaults to windows. Windows are stained glass art depicting important scenes from the religion or mosaics of art. The vaults are the grandest thing, they create the actual building. Vaults are the "skeleton" of the building, they create the length. The frame of the building and how big the cathedral is. Another key thing about Gothic Architecture and cathedrals is the amount of detail and how they're created. The columns and walls have stone carvings. The details and patterns are hand carved. Creating that intricate detail. There's on trick to this: cathedrals are built with proportions. Even if they didn't know it. The length of the hypothenuse of the courtyard, is the length of the hall way. It's using the golden ration rule.
