which modern technology is comparable to the flying buttress in its ability to allow for larger exterior windows?
cantilevers made of reinforced concrete
the domino construction system
balloon - frame construction
cross - laminated timber

Explanation:

The flying buttress was a structural element that allowed for larger windows by transferring the weight of the roof and upper walls to the ground. The Domino Construction System, developed by Le Corbusier, uses a grid of reinforced concrete columns and slabs. This system separates the structural elements (columns) from the non - structural elements (walls). Just as the flying buttress allowed for more open space (larger windows) by taking the load away from the walls, the Domino system allows for more flexibility in the placement of walls (including having larger exterior windows) because the columns carry the load, not the walls.
Cantilevers made of reinforced concrete are more about projecting structures without visible supports at the far end and not directly about allowing for larger windows in the same load - transferring - to - enable - open - space way as the flying buttress. Balloon - frame construction is a wood - framing method mainly for speed and economy in construction, not for the same kind of load - transfer - to - allow - large - windows functionality. Cross - laminated timber is a type of engineered wood for multi - story construction with advantages like speed and sustainability but not in the same load - transfer - mechanism as the flying buttress for enabling large windows.

Answer:

the Domino Construction System
