What makes a Gothic Cathedral? There are many features that make Gothic architecture stand out from other forms. One of the main features is the pointed arch. Unlike Romanesque style, which has the curved arch, the pointed arch sends the pressure down to the floor instead of the sides. However, the pointed arches can still collapse over time. That is why flying buttresses are put next to the arches, so they can support them and keep them from collapsing. Flying buttresses have to be placed in very exact positions for them to do their job; otherwise they would not support the arch at all.
