Native American to Gothic Architecture
The difference between Native American Architecture to Gothic Architecture is very drastic, but in a very revolutionary way. Native Americans started with very simple and easy structures, like the teepee. Then the Greeks built the Amphitheatre that brought new light to audiences and performers. Then there were chariot races, which the worst seat in the house was being the performer. The Romans brought the Colosseum, which brought more versatility to performances/events like, Ludi Romani games, animal slaughters, and the flooding of the colosseum to clean up the aftermath of the slaughters. After the Colosseum, there was the Pantheon, which means "all gods." The pantheon was built for wonder and prestige. There was a hole at the top for light to shine through and for people to feel closer to the heavens. The Hagia Sophia had revolutionized acoustics, lighting and temperature control. After the Hagia Sophia came the Gothic Cathedral. The Gothic Cathedral had three entrances to represent the holy trinity, and it became a new place of entertainment. Like a form of entertainment all of the buildings we learned about all had some form of entertainment and value to each culture/background.
