We often see gothic inspired buildings in horror or fantasy films and animations. But what exactly is gothic architecture and what are the main key elements of the style?
Here is the gothic architecture 101 video for beginners who want to learn more about the history and characteristics of gothic art.
We will explore:
- Why is it called Gothic style?

Now that's what I'm talking about I was waiting for this & it's good you reference the difference influences of each countries style on Gothic architecture. In addition to giving the information on pre & revival movements as well. I agree with your selection for me also there's always an elegance to the buildings. It really does draw you in and you can't help yourself you want to look at every inch of the structure. I can't wait for the 2nd video. Gothic Architecture, Art Literature & Subculture it's all good to me

If you want to explore further, I recommend Otto v Simson, 'The Gothic Cathedral', and Jean Gimpel, 'The Cathedral Builders'

Nicholas Orme’s “The History of England’s Cathedrals is another excellent resource.

I got a very bad case of Covid and then Long Covid afterwards at the beginning of the pandemic. To pass the time and to keep my brain as active and functional as possible I began a study of Medieval cathedrals and gothic architecture. Four years later I’m still at it. I am in such awe that the architects, masons and artisans who built these glorious monuments to God without the scientific, technological and mathematical knowledge that is considered absolutely indispensable by architects of today! And, unlike many more modern buildings these ancient buildings continue to stand and be used after several centuries!

Thank you very much for awakening a love of Gothic architecture. The mighty buildings look so beautiful, please more of them and the excellent detailed description of the origin, the structure and the subcategories has made it easier to recognize and classify. Thank you so much for your expansiv work. By the way, the Ulm Minster was built and financed by the people of Ulm. From unfree slave laborers to lower nobility

Awesome Video! What I absolutely love are buildings that are Gothic Style Mixed with Renaissance or Baroque Elements. No matter if they were built at the beginning of the Renaissance, have a long building History that gives it multiple phases, or were built during Historism with mixed Style in mind. Only truly genius architects can make Styles so different look harmonic!

Very well said! I didn't think too much of how beautiful they blend different styles together until just recently.
