What is Gothic construction?

Gothic construction refers to the architectural style that originated in 12th-century France and spread throughout Europe, characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses. This style was primarily used in the construction of cathedrals, churches, and other large structures. The purpose of these features was to allow for taller buildings with larger windows, often filled with stained glass, creating light-filled, awe-inspiring interiors. Gothic construction techniques revolutionized medieval architecture and remain highly influential in building design today.
