8. Venetian Gothic
The term used for the particular form of Italian
Gothic architecture typical of Venice, originating
in local building requirements, with some
influence from Byzantine architecture, and
some from Islamic architecture, reflecting
Venice's trading network

9. Venetian Gothic
Ogee arch, capped with a relief ornament and rope work reliefs
The most important element is the presence of pointed arches.
Lightness and grace of the building.. Traceries supported the whole building, not just lighter parts
. Therefore, weightlessness of the buildings as a whole.
Proportion of the central hall in secular buildings. This hall, known as the Portego, evolved into a
long passageway that was often opened by a loggia with Gothic arches.
The Venetian Gothic, while far more intricate in style
and design than previous construction types in
Venice, never allowed more weight or size than
necessary to support the building. Venice had always
held the concern that every inch of land is valuable,
because of the canals running through the city.
