To understand better WHY romanesque buildings have thick walls (with small windows) and used buttresses and meanwhile, WHY gothic buildings have greater windows and can reach greater heights, I share this link. This link is taken from the website "NOVA. Building the Cathedrals", and allow you to understand some aspects of the romanesque and gothic styles in architecture.
