RE: Stained glass are architectural art. One of the driving ideas was to design wall

Posted by rivervalley817 on October 6, 2020 at 18:23:35:
I'm not one to live in a stained glass house and throw rocks but ...
I'm pretty certain that the geometries and implementation of flying arches were in use before stained glass windows ... well, any glass windows really
the spring voussoir and central voussoir or keystone arch concepts came well before they filled them with glass from what I've been taught and learned
I'm relying on memory but am certainly willing to learn more or otherwise
edit: I just realized that you've got the flying buttress in mind, and yes that engineering was driven by weight relief across spans of glass ... but that's [forgive me] a narrow focus on the overarching cncept
best regards,
