Proportions were based on “modules”

Show a progression toward the middle

6. Columns

Set up against walls
Divided spaces

7. Vaults Ceiling of the Cathedral Curved at the top, not pointed
Didn’t have ribs

8. Domes Very large feature that could be seen from far away
Held paintings that could only be seen from inside
Indispensable element in Cathedral architecture

9. Doors
