New Buttresses

Flying Buttresses were a necessity in the Gothic Cathedral. They exist to create the amazing interior space for the cathedral without any need of a visible structural support. The cathedral extension I'm building does the same thing. The flying buttresses' extensions stand for the great interior spaces. They are the frames these interior spaces sit on and are hung on.

In the rendering below, the extensions are seen as solid frames, again. However, the interior is subtracted.  Two sides of the new flying buttresses are different in terms of the location of the openings.

Keep in mind that these buttresses are used for circulation + structure at the same time. Therefore the 1m-2m thickness of them will be useful.

A very quick screen capture of two section drawings to show how two spaces intersect on the flying buttress extensions.
