Perhaps, rather than the obscure "restraining influence", it might be possible to briefly explain that gothic buildings look like that because stone is heavy and stonework needs to be under compressive loads to not fall apart. The style is - in an important sense - fake.
Carpenter's Gothick
editA recent RfD for the term "Carpenter's Gothic(k)" caught my eye: googling the term "Carpenter's Gothick" suggests that it's a term used in the UK (though as I'm in UK Google will be biasing towards UK sources) but I'm not sure whether it's the same thing as the (predominantly US) Carpenter Gothic. An architecture expert might like to look into this. Usages include [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. PamD 09:13, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
