  elements

What is a Gothic arch called?

• A pointed arch, ogival arch, or Gothic arch is an
  arch with a pointed crown, whose two curving
  sides (thus yet another name, two-centred arch)
  meet at a relatively sharp angle at the top of
  the arch.
• This architectural element was particularly
  important in Gothic architecture.

4
Is Gothic architecture still used today?

• Gothic architecture has fallen out of use in the
  late 16th century and was replaced by a variety
  of different movements and styles.
• But it never died out, unlike most other
  architectural styles. Its complexity makes it one
  of the most sought after methods for high-end
  buildings.

  twofold decorative and innovative.

  the late medieval period not only made the Gothic

But there are five characteristics of Gothic
architecture that stand out from other styles

• 1. Flying Buttresses

2. Pointed Arches The goal of using pointed
arches was to create more space by building
vertically.

3. Ribbed VaultsGothic structures are dominated
by high ceilings and large windows, and this was
possible by implementing ribbed vaults. Ribbed
vaults are not only visually stunning, but they
also create structural support for rounded roofs
by placing arches next to each other or in a
parallel fashion.

windows were added as much for decoration as they
were to let in natural light.
