Mustafa Dallı shared his views on his article as follows:
 
Gothic architecture is a movement that has influenced world architecture, including today's architecture, since its active period. Although it is known for some of its features such as flying buttresses, pointed arches and vaults, John Ruskin examined the physical features of Gothic architecture and examined it under 6 main headings. Lars Spuybroek, the founder of Nox Architects, one of the names that come to mind today when it comes to digital architecture, described these features of Ruskin as the "Digital Nature of Gothic". He examined 3 of these 6 features and analyzed them in "The Digital Nature of Gothic" in his book "The Sympathy of Things: Ruskin and the Ecology of Design". In this study, based on Spuybroek's studies on Gothic, his work with Nox Architects, his discussions on the beauty and grace he encountered in his journey to the nature of Gothic, and why he called Gothic architecture digital were examined and some discussions were made on this subject.
