This is ruled out by history and the first structural appearance of Gothic architecture - the reason for Gothic architecture - in Durham Cathedral, which dates from the late 11th century, and the cathedral at St Denis, a few years later. undo Tags: Reverted references removed Mobile edit Mobile web edit

While Christopher Wren designed a handful of delightful buildings such as St James's Piccadilly, and whose attempts at larger forms failed, his view on Gothic architecture is irrelevant to an understanding of Gothic architecture and its historical development undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

The pointed arch in Gothic architecture was for structural reasons, not decorative. It enables much taller buildings by direction of weight vertically down, removing the ratio of height to width required by round arches. It enables much larger glass spaces - for light, and there is no possible Islamist influence on the first structural use of pointed arches - Durham Cathedral in the north of England, late 11th century. undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit
