Gothic Design Era

The Gothic era like some many other design era's was structured around Religion. The Gothic era was from 1140-1500. Paris was the center of the Gothic world. The churches were the center of city. This design period was famous for 3 features in their designs the pointed arch, the ribbed vault and the flying buttress. The the Gothic churches were obsessed with light. They had floor to ceiling stain glass windows the flying buttress was actually invited as an outside support mechanization. This was so they had more wall space for Windows. their stain glass windows are amazing the consist of rose windows, tracery, Harmony and Equal proportion.

I reviewed Stephanie and i loved her vocabulary she used it went really well with the theme of the entry I also liked her video that linked to the entry it was very educational. I also reviewed Karri I liked how she went into depth about each design element and why they were used. i also liked her current application room i thought it was a great representation of the Gothic Design era.
