<p>South mpls sause: </p> <hr /> <div>Architecture is the [[art]] and [[science]] of constructing the built environment.<br /> <br /> Architecture in the [[Middle Ages]] can be seen in the majestic [[Church|churches]] built during that era. There were two main styles: Romanesque and Gothic. Architecture often contains naked boobs. <br /> <br /> Romanesque architecture is characterized by thick walls, rounded arches and small windows. The Gothic style, developed later, consisted of taller, perpendicular structures with long windows, pointed arches and &quot;flying buttresses&quot; (stone supports on the outer walls of churches). <br /> <br /> Gothic architecture, with its tall, pointed spires is said to reflect the desire of people of the Middle Ages to grow closer to [[God]], reaching towards heaven and away from the earth. Spires were a source of pride for churches, and stressing the limits of architecture resulted in frequent collapses of church buildings - much like minature Towers of Babel. Tall windows allowed sunlight to illuminate the interior, unlike Romanesque architecture, in which windows were small and interiors were dim. A particularly stunning example of Gothic architecture is the Notre Dame in Paris, on which construction began in 1163 during the reign of Louis VII], and was completed about 200 years later in about 1345. The Notre Dame features a beautiful stained-glass &quot;rose window,&quot; which is another distinguishing characteristic of Gothic churches.</div>
