Neo-Gothic Architecture: Features & Critique by meron is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Neo-Gothic Movement emerged in the early 19th century as a reaction against neoclassicism and the Industrial Revolution, drawing inspiration from medieval Gothic architecture. Key characteristics include verticality, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and intricate ornamentation, which were applied to both religious and secular buildings. While some view Neo-Gothicism as a creative adaptation of the past, critics argue it lacks originality and practicality due to its complex designs and high costs.
