The flying buttress is the defining external characteristic of gothic architecture. These buttresses act to spread the weight of the tall walls. They support the structure by transferring force directly to the ground. The flying buttress was not just practical, though.

This strength allowed by the new vaulted ceilings and columns reinforced by the flying buttress allowed a way to build high ceiling like never before. It allowed creation of ceilings vaulted with stone; which relieved the danger of fire on the roof in the earlier style of building, Romanesque style.
