The work examines the birth and evolution of Gothic architecture, particularly focusing on its French origins and the principles that defined its various forms. The author, an architect to the French government and Inspector of Diocesan Edifices, aims to elucidate the architectural innovations of the Gothic period, particularly highlighting the significance of the flying buttress and groined vaults. The opening of the text introduces the concept of Gothic architecture as a development that originated in France during the Middle Ages. Corroyer discusses the misleading nature of the term "Gothic," which historically referred to the architecture of the Goths, a culture with little impact on architectural design. He emphasizes that what he terms Gothic architecture is essentially a continuation and evolution from earlier Romanesque styles, influenced heavily by local building traditions and innovations. Through this foundation, Corroyer sets the stage to explore the technicalities and stylistic transitions evident in prominent structures of the period, suggesting a rich interplay between cultural heritage and architectural advancement.
