This work is made up of three fundamental parts. The first "Definition of the Plan" enables the reader to apprehend the origins of Medieval Church Architecture in the West (the basilican choice) as well as the reasons (hierarchical, political, economic) for the architectural distribution inside a church. The second part "the Mastery of the Forces" is an exhaustive analysis of the forces which disrupt the equilibrium of a building of the longitudinal type and of the whole of the Romanesque and Gothic techniques invented to fight against these forces. The last part "the elements" enables the study of the whole of the architectural "objects" of a church, arches, vaults, supports etc. and their function within the building. The illustrations entirely in synthetic images are numerous throughout the book.

HENRY-CLAUDE Michel : former plasterer’s apprentice becoming later a stonecutter, he learnt at his masters’ side on the sites of Cathedral restorations the fundamental techniques of stone mounting. Numerous journeys, including several to Rome, where he discovered the principles of Roman concrete and of Antique architecture have given him an overall vision of Western Church architecture. He entered a seminary at the age of 38, he became a priest and resumed his studies in order to submit a doctor’s thesis on History of Art on the theme of “The influence of the Pig Market on Catholic Architecture” or “From the Basilica Porcia to the Modern Church” Today he is emeritus Professor at the University of Lons-le-Saunier, he studies, in collaboration with other specialists, the exercise of the pressure of forces within stone buildings.
STÉFANON Laurence : history teacher, well-known expert on Renaissance and Classical Architecture, she has specialised in the reconstitution of synthetic images of many buildings including medieval ones. She is also an excellent drawer.
