Beschreibung

In "Gothic Architecture," √âdouard Corroyer meticulously explores the intricate elements and rich historical narratives of one of the most celebrated architectural styles in history. Through a combination of detailed descriptions, vibrant illustrations, and analytical insights, Corroyer examines the progression of Gothic architecture from its origins in the 12th century to its profound influence in modern design. The text not only emphasizes structural innovations like ribbed vaults and flying buttresses but also contextualizes these developments within the broader trends of medieval society, spirituality, and artistry, rendering it an essential contribution to architectural literature. √âdouard Corroyer, a prominent French architect and historian, was deeply influenced by the cultural revival of Gothic ideals during the 19th century. His academic background, coupled with a fervent commitment to the preservation and appreciation of historical architecture, fostered his passion for the Gothic style. Corroyer's expertise and hands-on experience with restoration projects provided him with unique insights into the materials and techniques that define this illustrious period in architectural history. For scholars, architects, and enthusiasts alike, "Gothic Architecture" serves as an invaluable resource that transcends mere historical documentation. Corroyer'Äôs thorough investigation invites readers to appreciate not only the aesthetic beauty of Gothic structures but also the profound cultural narratives they embody, making this work an essential addition to any architectural library.

    Thomas Henry Lyon - Architect...

    Thomas Henry Lyon (1869–1953) was an important architect whose work has often been ignored, because he did not take up the Modernist ideas of many of his contemporaries. His work was also almost entirely concentrated in either Cambridge or the edge of Dartmoor. His contribution to the inter-War development of the Colleges of Cambridge was immense and often overlooked: this book seeks to restore his reputation.
    
     
    The book restores to public consciousness the extensive architectural work carried out by Lyon, particularly in Cambridge, and does not gloss over the disaster of a church in Wembley which had to be closed after less than 30 years. It also looks at the important work he carried out in South Australia in the pre-1914 age, as well as his masterly reconstruction and furnishing of Sidney Sussex College chapel, which established his reputation. It has been extensively researched in archives across England, but particularly in those of the Colleges of Cambridge.
