گوتھک سے باروک تک: مغربی فن تعمیر کا ارتقا

Abstract

The evolution of Western architecture from the Gothic to the Baroque period represents a profound transformation in design philosophy, aesthetic values, and construction techniques. This article examines the architectural shift from the intricate, vertical aspirations of Gothic structures to the dynamic, ornate forms of Baroque architecture. By analyzing key buildings, influential architects, and stylistic changes, this study elucidates the reasons behind the transition, including technological advancements, shifts in cultural and religious attitudes, and the influence of political and economic factors. The exploration highlights how these architectural styles reflect broader historical contexts and contribute to our understanding of Western architectural history.
