Compare Gothic and Renaissance architecture

Renaissance:
Arches were rounded at the top. Buildings were always symmetrical. In the renaissance architects used the three styles of columns they borrowed from the Greeks -Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Gothic: The Gothic arches have a distinct peak at the top of the arch. The design of buildings was asymmetrical. Often the number of spires that were often used in Gothic building was different on one side of an entrance than on the other. |
