Because architecture cannot 'associate': it is not sentient. People associate architecture with cathedrals, etc. A fuller form of the sentence would be this: Gothic architecture is a style of architecture, [ which is ] associated [ by us ] particularly with cathedrals and other churches, that flourished in Europe during the Middle Ages.

This answer is what I got from an English native speaker:
Because Gothic architecture is an object not a person, it should be used with passive form.
If you use " in particularly associating", it sounds like Gothic architecture does think." Certainly, building doens't have a brain!
