Gothic Period
a style of architecture that flourished during the high and late medieval period. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture.
Rayonnant
term used to describe a period in the development of French Gothic architecture, ca. 1240–1350.
Flamboyant
is the name given to a florid style of late Gothic architecture in vogue in France, Spainand Portugal during the 15th century.
Early English Gothic
defined by its pointed arches, vaulted roofs, buttresses, large windows, and spires. The Gothic style was introduced from France, where the various elements had first been used together within a single building at the choir
Decorative Style (Curvilinear)
an international philosophy[2] and style of art, architectureand applied art—especially the decorative arts—that were most popular during 1890-1905
Perpendicular Style
of late Gothic architecture in England roughly parallel in time to the French Flamboyant style. The style, concerned with creating rich visual effects through decoration, was characterized by a predominance of vertical lines in stone window tracery, enlargement of windows to great proportions, and conversion of the interior stories into a single unified vertical expanse.
Abott Suger
was one of the last Frankish abbot-statesmen, a historian, and the influential first patron of Gothic architecture.
Pointed Arch
an arch that is pointed at the top.
Chevet
eastern end of a church, especially of a Gothic church designed in the French manner. Beginning about the 12th century, Romanesque builders began to elaborate on the design of the area around the altar, adding a curved ambulatory behind it and constructing a series of apses or small chapels radiating from the ambulatory.
Flying Buttress
pecific form of buttressing most strongly associated with Gothic church architecture. It serves to transmit the lateral forces pushing a wall outwards (which may arise from stone vaulted ceilings or from wind-loading on roofs) across an intervening space and ultimately down to the ground.
Gargoyle
a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. Preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls is important because running water erodes the mortar between the stone blocks.
Lancet Window
A tall, Slender window with a sharply pointed arch (like a lance) common in early gothic architecture.
Rose Window
A large, circular window with tracery arranged like spokes of a wheel or other radial patterns, commonly found in Gothic facades.
Tracery
Ornamental intersecting stonework in Gothic windows, panels, and screens of Gothic Buildings.
Vaulting
An arched ceiling or roof made of stone, brick, or concrete.
Scholasticism
Both an outgrowth and a departure from Christian monastic schools,[1] European scholasticism was both a method of learning taught by the academics (scholastics, school people, or schoolmen) of medieval universities circa 1100–1500, and a program of employing that method in articulating and defending orthodoxy in an increasingly pluralistic context.
Pilier Cantonne
a type of compound pier commonly associated with High Gothic architecture. First used in the construction of the Chartres Cathedral, the pilier cantonné has fourcolonettes attached to a large central core that support the arcade, aisle vaults and nave-vaulting responds
Mendicants
refers to begging or relying on charitable donations, and is most widely used forreligious followers or ascetics who rely exclusively on charity to survive.
Franciscan Order
they seek to follow most directly the manner of life that Saint Francis led. This Order is a mendicant religious order of men tracing their origin to Francis of Assisi
