Architectural features of Amiens Cathedral

Looking from Amiens Cathedral, you can clearly see the independent plane tickets supporting the central roof. Viewed from the side, it looks like rows of steel frames passing through the side gallery and resting on the outer side wall piles. In this way, the weight of the central top cover borne by the vault of the side gallery is removed, the height of the side gallery can be reduced, the side high window at the top of the center can be highlighted, and the external wall can also reduce the burden and open its windows. At first, this may only be due to structural considerations, but later it gradually evolved into an external aesthetic feature of the Gothic church, which can be made into different styles according to the architect's design intention. The central ceiling of Amiens Cathedral is 42.3 meters high, which forms a prominent symbol in the architecture of the city. The plane is basically Latin cross, covering an area of about 200 thousand square meters, and the construction project is huge.
