Lecture 1B - Middle Ages
Medieval

Charlemagne’s palace complex

Odo of Metz (Aachen, Germany, 792-805)

Centralized baptisteries, inspired by Rome. Grid system. Inspired by other projects but lack of
construction. Reversed engineering. Duplicate what they found.

The Charlemagne’s Palatine Chapel is part of this complex.
Almost the same as basilica of s. vitale. Ravenna Italy (538-548) Most elements are copied. But
some of the elements have developed. Not only in the plans of the buildings but also in the interieur.

Charlemagne’s Palatine Chapel, Ode of Metz, Aachen Germany 792-805

Interior spaces complimented by mosaic. Replicated in Aachen.

Same organization Same coherence in design Same material use.

But allyboration in Aachen but they didn’t have the same capabilities. On the outside they don’t
reveal the beauty from the inside.

Kloster Lorsch Gatehouse, Lorsch, Germany 767-774

Different from other because of the steep roof.

Arch of Constatine Rome Italy 312-315

Celebrate the victory of an army over another army

Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis, Pierre de Montreuil, Saint-Denis France 1135-1264

Pointed arches, missing tower on left side (not symmetrical)

Notre-Dam Cathedral, Chartres France 1194-1230,

Revival of romanisque, step back: more massive

Notre-Dam Cathedral, Reims France 1211-1260

Enormous roset. Logical place. A lot of light. Strong vertical elements. Opposite from amiens
cathedral

Saint-Etienne Cathedral, Bourges France 1195-1260

Highes arcades but smaller structure, better use of forces

Saint-etienne cathedral guillaume de Sens Sensm France 1135-1164

Notre-dame Cathedral noyon France 1150-1205

Thin columns will be important element of cathedral. Optical illusions

Notre-dame Cathedral, Laon France 1160-1225

Combination of early gothic experience. Purest example of early gothic

Lecture 2b -Late (French) gothic
Notre-dame cathedral, Jean de Chelles and Pierre de Montreuil, Paris France 1163-1250

Light and thin walls

Notre dam cathedral Renaud de cornet, Thomas de cornmont and Robert de lazurches, Amiens

Opposite
