Several beautiful secular buildings can be found in Venice. The local Gothic architecture was influenced by the magnificent Byzantine architecture.

Possibly the last "Gothic" form ever built on a massive scale (outside of Barcelona)... found in Detroit, the 1993 completed 200m tall One Detroit Center office tower. (Which of course is Post Modern, and only the top half of the 47 story tower is showing here.)
image hosted on flickr  Note: the office building to the left of it (and to the right of the Church steeple) is One Woodward Ave., the 1962 completed Minuru Yamagasi's prototype for his 1966-73 late World Trade Center towers. This was Detroit architect Yamagasi's only office tower before his huge WTC commission. This 28 story office tower, like the later WTC towers, also had Gothic details.

Basilique de Saint Denis, France (Basilica of Saint Denis): where it all began.
Constructed between 1137 and 1144, the Church of Saint-Denis marks the beginning of the Gothic style in Europe. Saint Denis Basilica, built under the supervision of Abbot Suger, heralded Europe’s shift from Romanesque to Gothic. The facade is primarily Romanesque, but many details in the church move away from the low Romanesque style. The Church of Saint-Denis was the first large building to use the new vertical style known as Gothic. The difference can be seen in its pointed arch, the ribbed vault, the ambulatory with radiating chapels, the clustered columns supporting ribs springing in different directions and the flying buttresses which enabled the insertion of large clerestory windows. Originally the Church of Saint-Denis had two towers, but one collapsed in 1837. The church is where the kings of France and their families were buried for centuries and is therefore often referred to as the “royal necropolis of France”. All but three of the monarchs of France from the 10th century until 1789 have their remains here, as well as many from previous centuries. (It was not used for the coronations of kings, that function being reserved for the Cathedral of Reims; however, queens were commonly crowned there.) The basilica's 13th century nave has been the prototype for the Rayonnant Gothic style, and provided an architectural model for cathedrals and abbeys of northern France, England and other countries. The church would have "the most radiant windows" to "illuminate men's minds so that they may travel through apprehension of God's light."Exterior:  http://architecture.about.com/od/gre...e-St-Denis.htm http://saint-denis.monuments-nationaux.fr/en/   http://wordsandpeace.com/2012/06/21/...f-saint-denis/ Interior:           source: http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/f...nis/index.html
