Is the gothic arch or a string instrument quartet a rational element of the western culture?

This is one of the questions from our professor that we could take to him about in order to get a passing grade, but I don’t think anyone had a go with it. I'm really curious about possible answers for this. The "rational element" part is of course related to the philosophical current present by, amongst others, Plato, Descartes, Spinoza, G.W. Leibniz, Kant and Hegel, although the last two did do it in a slightly different form.

So, fire away, I'd like to hear what you have to say about this
