The Cologne Cathedral shows the tall narrow and pointed towers, the massive doorways and their decoration and the three at the entrance with the main one the largest in the middle. It also shows the increase in the size of the windows, the flying buttresses, pinacles and the decorative crockets everywhere. The interior view of the nave of the Notre Dame Cathedral shows the cluster columns, the rose window and the introducion of the stained glass windows. The Cathedral of Bourges shows the massive detail of the facade of the building with the three doors and the big centre door. It shows the towers at the entrance with the pointed tall pinacles on top, and also shows the decoration of the crockets all over the building as well as the feature stained glass rose window.

All together i like this movement it shows the high emotion and dedication to faith through the interpretation of architecture and incorporates a different approach in designing buildings with the flying buttresses, stained glass windows and pinacles.
