Excerpt from The True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture: Set Forth in Two Lectures Delivered at St. Marie's, Oscott
One of the greatest defects of St. Paul's, London, is its fictitious dome. The dome that is seen is not the dome of the church, but a mere construction for effect. At St. Peter's the dome is the actual covering of the building, and is therefore constructed in that respect on the true principle but, as will be perceived by the annexed section, the upper part of St. Paul's is mere imposing show, constructed at a vast expense without any legitimate reason.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the principles of Pointed, or Christian, architecture. Taking readers on a journey through the history of design, the author examines the construction and decoration of buildings, furniture, and metalwork from the Middle Ages. The author, a passionate advocate for the revival of this architectural style, challenges the prevailing notion that Greek architecture should be considered the epitome of architectural excellence. He argues that the Greeks, influenced by the limitations of their preferred wooden construction, failed to fully harness the potential of stone. In contrast, he celebrates the ingenuity of medieval builders, who, using modest materials and a deep understanding of structural principles, created soaring vaulted ceilings and delicate tracery. The author delves into the specific techniques and artistic choices employed in crafting buildings, furniture, and objects. Through detailed descriptions of construction methods, he reveals the underlying rationale behind each decorative element, demonstrating how form and function are inextricably intertwined in this style. This book's rich insights offer readers a new perspective on the history of architecture, revealing the artistry and craftsmanship that informed the construction of some of the most beautiful and enduring buildings in the world. 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330306444_0
