The overwhelming advantage of Gothic over other architectural styles was that for the first time in history during the middle age the people made use of all natural materials that were available and used them to their full acount. Also every detail, every ornament had a purpose and wasn’t just there without underlining either the architectural design or the meaning of the building. The construction was made to serve the purpose and to compliment the purpose of the building. Pugin noted that building in the 19th century consisted too much of design instead of great architecture (construction, et cetera).
