Flying ButtressesFlying Buttresses In roman style, walls were solidly massive and
supported the continuous vaults.
But gothics invented flying buttresses, whichthey placed at right angles to the length ofthe wall to take the collected pressure of theribbed vaults and finally transmitting to
ground. The walls reduced to thin layer only to enclose
the superstructure.
