What is Gothic Architecture? Pt 07

Описание: Ribbed vaulting stands as a distinctive characteristic of Gothic Architecture. Within the vault, the pointed arch is visible in three dimensions, converging at the center of the ceiling in each bay. Reinforcement of Rib vaults allowed significantly thinner walls between them. This innovation enabled both ceilings and walls to carry a slender form. The Gothic rib vault played a vital role in achieving the remarkable height and long windows of the Gothic style. Ribs directed the thrust outwards to the corners of the vault and downwards via thin colonettes and bundled columns to the pillars and columns below. And it was countered by the weight of buttresses and later flying buttresses outside. The gaps in between the ribs were filled with short panels composed of small stone pieces.
