A visitor to a gothic cathedral would have found him or herself surrounded by columns of soaring height and large expanses of glass.

Explanation:

The Gothic Cathedral architecture is majorly characterized by the emphasis given to natural light. It is because of this characteristic of Gothic Cathedral architecture, the windows in these structures are large and are right up-to the heights of the tip of its columns. These windows allow ample natural light to come in.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
