Chapter 13

  • Abbot Suger of Saint Denis rose from humble parentage.
  • Ambulatory and radiating chapels abbey church
  • About Sugar`s remodeling of Saint Denis marking the beginning of the Gothic architecture
  • Rib vaults with pointed arches spring from slender columns stained glass windows.
The gothic europe was the same yet different from the previous chapters. The building were cathedral but they had a twist to it.  For example, the gothic cathedral was oculus meant small, round windows. Lancet meant a tall, narrow window crowned by a ointed arch.
