商品簡介
The eleven essays of this collection provide detailed examples of how geometry was used in the creation of several medieval cathedrals. Some of the essays give an overview to the use of geometry, with an essay on the geometry of a Carolingian wall, the use of three measures to construct a Romanesque church, and the use of measure and proportion in Romanesque architecture. Among the specific buildings discussed are Reims, Beauvais, Amiens, Clermont, and Narbonne cathedrals in France, the Cathedral of Metz in Germany, and the Church of St. George of the Latins in Famagusta, Cyprus.
