Is Gothic a design period?
Yes, Gothic Architecture and Art, also known as Medieval Architecture and Art, 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 from Romanesque architecture, which later developed into Renaissance architecture.Interestingly, the term "Gothic" used to describe this form of architecture is quite misleading as it implies that this genre of architectural design was heavily influenced by the Goths or Visigoth tribes. In actuality, those tribes were vanquished by the 6th century and thus their influence on Gothic design is non-existent. It is by mere convention that the term "Gothic Architecture" is used to describe these distinctive designs.The influence of Gothic architecture can be seen in castles, palaces, houses, universities and town halls. Gothic designs are prominent all over the world, especially in European countries. No matter where the designs are found, the powerful beauty of Gothic architecture is pronounced and distinctive, and it is an element of architectural design that is awesome and mysterious at the same time.
