Gothism

/ˈɡɒθɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The principles, style, or cultural movement associated with Gothic art and architecture, or adherence to Gothic aesthetics.

Etymology

From Gothic + -ism (suffix denoting a movement, practice, or doctrine). Emerged in the 18th-19th centuries to describe both the artistic movement and the philosophical commitment to Gothic values.

Kelly Says

Gothism is the belief system behind the architecture—it's not just building pointy arches, it's an entire philosophy about beauty, nature, and emotion. The term shows how architectural styles become full-blown ideologies.
