#HOW TO ENTER A VAULTED AREA ON RAPID SKETCH SERIES#
From the mid-18th century into the 20th century, there were a series of revivals of Gothic-style architecture, mostly used in the designs of university buildings and churches. Yet, in some places like Belgium and England, the Gothic style would continue and evolve well into the 16th century. The 15th century witnessed the ushering in of Renaissance architecture, which would soon replace Gothic architecture as the new preferred style. It is believed by some scholars that the prototype for Gothic architecture was the architecture of the Christian Armenians, however, despite many similarities with Gothic style architecture that can be observed in buildings such as the Ani Cathedral’s vaulted ribs and pointed arches, there is a gap of several centuries between the architecture styles and no real evidence to prove any connection between them. UNESCO has listed many Gothic structures as World Heritage Sites.
