The Gothic architecture stands tall, as a reflection of a period that was both dark and divine. It is a style that is known for its grandeur and mystery, for its soaring spires and intricate details. It is a style that has inspired awe and wonder for centuries and continues to do so today.

The Gothic style emerged in the 12th century, during a time when Europe was undergoing great change. The style was a departure from the more simplistic Romanesque style that preceded it. Gothic architecture was characterized by its pointed arches, ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, and ornate decoration.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Gothic architecture is its ability to evoke emotion. The soaring height of the cathedrals, the intricate carvings and sculptures, and the stained glass windows all work together to create a sense of awe and wonder. It is as if the very stones themselves are reaching toward the heavens, in an attempt to capture the divine.

The Notre Dame de Paris is perhaps the most famous example of Gothic architecture. The cathedral is a masterpiece of the style, with its towering spires, intricate carvings, and stunning stained glass windows. It is a testament to the power of the style to evoke emotion and inspire wonder.

But Gothic architecture is not just limited to cathedrals and churches. The style has been used in a variety of buildings, including castles, palaces, and even universities. The University of Glasgow, for example, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture. The university's main building features pointed arches, elaborate carvings, and soaring spires. It is a testament to the versatility of the style, and its ability to inspire wonder in a variety of contexts.

Gothic architecture also has a darker side, one that is often associated with horror and fear. The style has been used in countless horror movies and novels, as a symbol of darkness and evil. The Gothic architecture's association with the macabre is not without reason. Its pointed arches and soaring spires can evoke a sense of foreboding and unease.

But the Gothic style is not just about fear and darkness. It is a reflection of a period of great change and transformation. The style emerged during a time when Europe was experiencing rapid growth and expansion. It was a time of great innovation and creativity, as well as a time of war and turmoil.

In many ways, the gothic architecture reflects these contradictions. It is a style that is both grand and intricate, dark and divine. It is a style that is both of its time and timeless.

In the end, gothic architecture is a testament to the power of human creativity and innovation. It is a style that continues to inspire wonder and awe and to evoke emotion in all who experience it. The cathedrals and buildings that were created during this period still stand today, as a reminder of a time of great change and transformation.

As we journey through Gothic architecture, we are reminded of the power of beauty and wonder, and of the human desire to capture the divine. We are reminded of a time of both darkness and light, and of the power of creativity to transform and inspire. Gothic architecture stands tall, as a testament to the human spirit, and to the enduring power of art and design.

"South Bund Saunter" (在南外滩闲逛)

Let’s go to my favorite restaurant it’s right around the corner of Duojia Road, and before you ask, I'll tell you what we’re having for dinner tonight. Just sit back, and prepare for a feast for the eyes (and the mind!) We will begin with the hors d'oeuvre, small fried bits of curiosity served with a watchful hoisin dipping sauce. Our soup of the day is roasted inquisitiveness seasoned with evidence and just a dash of mala pepper. The main course is honey glazed playfulness with a side of jolly. For dessert we have chocolate covered creativity with a strawberry jelly filling. Do you prefer coffee or oolong tea? No need to rush, take your time ping ponging between the two. This is a new take on ‘TV dinner’ I hope you can appreciate the effort, not everyone can. Artist Nam June Paik was a firm believer in the power of television and was sure it could have a spiritual dimension. In what he called “Participation TV” (1969), creator and audience come together and can experience and create art that approaches a transcendent state, much like his work “TV Buddha” (1974), which intersects spirituality and technology. We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this breaking news, dinner was absolutely scrumptious.
