Questions About Gothic Architecture; Videos for the Quiz

As you study for our architecture quiz, watch one of the videos (or both!), and see if you can find an answer to one of these excellent questions from your classmates:

Scott: Where did they find all the colored glass for the windows?

Jay: How are these buildings made by hand?

Langston and Brynne: How long did it take to build a Gothic cathedral?

Deija, Tate, and Sawyer: Why are some many of the windows made in a flower shape? Does the rose/flower symbolize a certain idea of Christianity? 

Maybe it symbolizes life or growth, or maybe the architects just decided it's really pretty. 

Does every Gothic cathedral have to contain a rose window?

Sophia and Nick: Did the architects and builders intentionally make the buildings look dark and slightly unwelcoming? Their size is humbling.
