Chartres Cathedral

Chartres Cathedral ca west façade

flying buttresses

Question: What made it possible to dissolve the walls so that windows could be enlarged? Answer: The flying buttress.

flying buttresses at Chartres Cathedral

The lines of force created by the weight of the roof and the arches is redirected (or distributed) by the flying buttresses past the walls of the church to external piers (outside the child walls). As a result, windows can larger and the nave can be taller. The Flying Buttress What do the red-orange arrows represent?

At Chartres Cathedral, the flying buttresses are very conservative and “heavy.”

Amiens Cathedral: do you notice that the flying buttresses are lighter?
