Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the origins and evolution of Gothic architecture. The author argues that true Gothic is a style of building found exclusively in France and defined by a highly organized and beautifully logical structural system where every part of the building plays a dynamic role and even ornamentation serves a structural purpose. The author traces the evolution of this architectural style from Romanesque architecture, demonstrating how Gothic architecture was a creative reimagining of the old style that resulted in a building system far more innovative and beautiful. The systematic analysis provided in this book overturns the previously held but mistaken belief that English cathedrals and other pointed constructions across Europe are examples of Gothic. In fact, the author argues that none of these buildings exemplify true Gothic, a realization that leads the author to posit an entirely new understanding of the artistry and engineering of the Middle Ages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334233623_0
