The selected building that given to us was York Minster, which is a gothic cathedral that is located at York, England. It is the largest medieval cathedral in all Northern Europe. The online forum's questions that I've focused on were who is the architect of the building and where and when was the building built. Through what I've reserched, this cathedral was once a Norman Cathedral, but it become gothicly designed was to allow considerable enlargement to the cathedral in maintaining with its status as the centre of an Archbishopric, which was started by Archbishop Walter de Grey. This cathedral represents almost every stages of gothic design, the duration forYork Minster to become entirely gothic was more than 250 years and many other archbishops were involved in this development.

Through this online forum, i get to know more about the history of York Minster, not only by that, I've also learned about the perseverance and determination of the archbishops in transforming the York Minster, they didn't really mind about the duration or the effort they've been contributed in this building but continuing this process until York Minster become one of the historic cathedral in the world. Other than that I've also get a lot of information about the building through the online discussion with my groupmates.
