With people afraid to travel, they remained in one area and paved the way for the manorial system - the basis of Medieval and feudal society. People were now in one area - they weren't necessarily safe. Therefore, lords (powerful men with money) offered their land to workers. Workers would produce crops on the land, while the lord gave the worker (also called peasant) protection with his knights. This was one manor. To protect manors from each other, they built large, strong castles. Thus, we see how Gothic Architecture came about and what role it played in society.<br><br>Other features of Gothic Architecture include large stained glass windows that colorfully illuminate the interior. This is common in cathedrals as light illuminated the religious images and religious scenes in each window. Light may have been used in Gothic cathedrals to evoke a spiritual feeling or other symbolic feeling. A last interior feature is wide use of tapestry that highly decorated Gothic structures. <br><br>Gothic architecture employed interesting features from within, but features on the exterior are just as interesting. First, many cathedrals and churches tend to resemble the basilica style as employed in the Hagia Sophia of the Byzantine Empire. Second, the use of flying buttresses helped to reduce stress on walls. This may be compared to the arch of Ancient Rome. After centuries of improvement and advancement, we see that the principles from that of t ...

This appearance was achieved by the development of certain architectural features, which together provided an engineering solution. The structural parts of the building ceased to be its solid walls, and became a stone skeleton comprising clustered columns, pointed ribbed vaults and flying buttresses. (See below: Light)<br><br>A Gothic cathedral or abbey was, prior to the 20th century, generally the landmark building in its town, rising high above all the domestic structures and often surmounted by one or more towers and pinnacles and perhaps tall spires.[7][15]<br><br>[edit] Plan<br><br>Most Gothic churches, unless they are entitled chapels, are of the Latin cross (or "cruciform") plan, with a long nave making the body of the church, a transverse arm called the transept and, beyond it, an extension which may be called the choir, chancel or presbytery. There are several regional variations on this plan.<br><br>The nave is generally flanked on either side by aisles, usually singly, but sometimes double. The nave is generally considerably taller than the aisles, having clerestory windows which light the central space. Gothic churches of the Germanic tradition, like St. Stephen of Vienna, often have nave and aisles of similar height and are called Hallenkirche. In the South of France there is often a single wide nave and no aisles, as at Sainte-Marie in Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges.<br><br>In some churches with double aisles, like Notre Dame, Paris, the transept does not project beyond the aisles. In English cathedrals transepts tend to project boldly and there may be two of them, as at Salisbury Cathedral, though this is not the case with lesser churches.<br><br>The eastern arm shows considerable diversity. In England it is generally long and may have two distinct sections, both choir and presbytery. It is often square ended or has a projecting Lady Chapel, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In France the eastern end is often polygonal and surrounded by a walkway called an ambulatory and sometimes a ring of chapels called a "chevet". While German churches are often similar to those of France, in Italy, the eastern projection beyond the transept is usually just a shallow apsidal chapel containing the sanctuary, as at Florence Cathedral.[7][10][15]<br><br>Structure: the pointed arch<br>Origins<br>One of the defining characteristics of Gothic architecture ...

The feature that brought the change is the pointed arch. With its use came the development of many other architectural devices, previously put to the test in scattered buildings and then called into service to meet the structural, aesthetic and ideological needs of the new style. These include the flying buttresses, pinnacles and traceried windows which typify Gothic ecclesiastical architecture.<br><br>At the completion of the west front in 1140, Abbot Suger moved on to the reconstruction of the eastern end, leaving the Carolingian nave in use.
