A » Gothic facades are characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, emphasizing verticality and light through stained glass windows. Renaissance facades, however, focus on symmetry, proportion, and geometry, drawing inspiration from classical antiquity with columns, pilasters, and triangular pediments. While Gothic facades create a dramatic, upward-reaching aesthetic, Renaissance facades present a balanced, harmonious appearance that reflects a revival of classical architectural principles.
