Description

Explore the architectural mysteries and engineering brilliance behind the great cathedrals and churches of the medieval West in this authoritative scholarly work published by Routledge. This volume from the Studies in the History of Civil Engineering series examines how medieval builders designed and constructed these awe-inspiring structures, and investigates the methods and knowledge they possessed. The book addresses fundamental questions about medieval construction techniques through a collection of expert papers organised into distinct sections. The first section analyses medieval builders and their design approaches, whilst the second explores critical engineering challenges, notably the catastrophic collapse of the choir at Beauvais in 1284, a pivotal event that sparked considerable scholarly debate. Additional papers extend the investigation into the 15th century, providing comprehensive insight into how cathedral engineering evolved across centuries and revealing the sophisticated understanding medieval craftsmen had of structural principles and construction practices.
