It ain't all black after all.

"It ain't all black after all" was the first thing I said after hearing the report about gothic architecture because seriously when I say goth what's the first that comes to mind? Isn't people dressed in black with those I'm an antisocial looking faces, People who live a dark, mysterious lifestyle and people who seem to be always depressed no matter how you look at it Goth is really black. However this is Goth lifestyle, and it does not necessarily translate to gothic architecture. What I really meant about that it wasn't black after all is that it really as plain at it looks like, gothic architecture was grand and very ambitious since most of the Churches were like trying to reach the sky since they really put emphasis on height in order to achieve that they created new engineering methods and designs. This is also added to the drama and appeal of Gothic Churches since these structures would often invoke emotions of grandeur and awe. Such grandeur and awe is often invoked upon seeing the "west front" or the facade of the structure since it represents both the might of God and the institution it represents. Structures in this architectural period are so meticulously detailed and given so much importance that each one is so priceless and truly a heritage from the past. If I ever think about Goth again it wont be about people dressed in black who all look they're deprived of sleep but instead I would remember the "Notre Dame de Paris" and it's awesome facade, the majestic interior of the Cologne Cathedral, and the other ecclesiastical structures that are all awe inspiring. Truly goth ain't all about black.
