Difference from Gothic Revival: The Flat Arch, Not the Pointed Arch

Comparison of two doors. Gothic Revival arches are two circular segments meeting in a high, pointed apex, paired with buttresses and vertical line bundles, a vocabulary belonging to churches and academies. Tudor arches are composed of four circular segments, flat and wide, with only a slight point at the top, paired with heavy stone frames and wooden doors, a vocabulary belonging to residences and manors. Avoid: drawing Tudor openings as high pointed arches, adding flying buttresses and pinnacles, making the door opening's height-to-width ratio slender, adding rose windows to Tudor architecture.

兩道門的比較。哥德復興的拱是兩段圓弧交成一個高聳的尖,配扶壁與垂直線束,語彙屬於教堂與學院;都鐸的拱由四段圓弧組成,又扁又寬,頂端只微微起尖,配的是厚重的石框與木門,語彙屬於住宅與莊園。避免:把都鐸的開口畫成高聳的尖拱、加上飛扶壁與小尖塔、讓門洞的高寬比變成細長、在都鐸建築上加入玫瑰窗。
