Today while reviewing the website of the Gothic Cathedrals I learned that many of the cathedrals such as Cologne and Florence contrasted each other because the Florence was more of a church building while the Cologne was more on the Gothic or dark side. If these were all made during the "Gothic" time period, then why don't they all represent the dark side? Well, that just goes to show that all these cathedrals may not have been so Gothic even though they were constructed during the Gothic time period. The way the designers used light was also a a great factor because the more light the more bright and less light would've obviously made the buildings darker.
