This book explores the genesis and development of Gothic architecture, from its origins in Romanesque through its apogee in the 13th and 14th centuries. The author traces the evolution of structural techniques, such as the rib vault and pointed arch, that facilitated the creation of soaring cathedrals. By analyzing the interplay between architecture and the broader cultural and religious context, the book illuminates how Gothic structures functioned as expressions of medieval spirituality and as symbols of civic pride. The book not only provides a comprehensive overview of the subject but also offers insights into the enduring cultural and artistic significance of Gothic architecture.
