E-mail: [email protected] Among regular polygons, the pentagon is considered to be barely used in medieval architectural compositions, due to its odd spatial appearance and difficult method of construction. The pentagon, representing the number five has a rich semantic role in Christian symbolism. Even though the proper way of construction was already invented in the Antiquity, there is no evidence of medieval architects having been aware of this knowledge. Contemporary sources only show approximative construction methods. In the Middle Ages the form has been used in architectural elements such as window traceries, towers and apses. As opposed to the general opinion supposing that this polygon has rarely been used, numerous examples bear record that its application can be considered as rather common. Our paper at- tempts to give an overview of the different methods architects could have used for regular pentagon construction during the Middle Ages, and the ways of applying the form.

  • Geometric Proportioning Strategies in Gothic Architectural Design Robert Bork*
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Bork, R 2014 Dynamic Unfolding and the Conventions of Procedure: Geometric +LVWRULHV Proportioning Strategies in Gothic Architectural Design. Architectural Histories, 2(1): 14, pp. 1-20, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/ah.bq RESEARCH ARTICLE Dynamic Unfolding and the Conventions of Procedure: Geometric Proportioning Strategies in Gothic Architectural Design Robert Bork* This essay explores the proportioning strategies used by Gothic architects. It argues that Gothic design practice involved conventions of procedure, governing the dynamic unfolding of successive geometrical steps. Because this procedure proves difficult to capture in words, and because it produces forms with a qualitatively different kind of architectural order than the more familiar conventions of classical design, which govern the proportions of the final building rather than the logic of the steps used in creating it, Gothic design practice has been widely misunderstood since the Renaissance. Although some authors in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries attempted to sympathetically explain Gothic geometry, much of this work has been dismissed as unreliable, especially in the influential work of Konrad Hecht. This essay seeks to put the study of Gothic proportion onto a new and firmer foundation, by using computer-aided design software to analyze the geometry of carefully measured buildings and original design drawings. Examples under consideration include the parish church towers of Ulm and Freiburg, and the cross sections of the cathedrals of Reims, Prague, and Clermont-Ferrand, and of the Cistercian church at Altenberg. Introduction of historic monuments to be studied with new rigor. It is Discussion of proportion has a curiously vexed status in finally becoming possible, therefore, to speak with reason- the literature on Gothic architecture.

  • Retired Pope Benedict Follows His Brother’S Funeral Virtually
    Retired Pope Benedict follows his brother’s funeral virtually REGENSBURG, Germany (CNS) — Retired Pope Benedict XVI followed the funeral of his brother, Georg Ratzinger, via livestreaming, reported the German Catholic news agency KNA. Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer of Regensburg said Pope Benedict, 93, was connected to the Mass taking place for his older brother July 8 in the Regensburg Cathedral. Msgr. Georg Ratzinger died on July 1 at age 96. During the Mass, the Regensburg bishop recalled the surprise June 18-22 visit Pope Benedict paid to the sickbed of his dying brother. “This sign of humanity touched many people. So all the more do we share in your mourning,” he said in words addressed to the retired pope. The Vatican newspaper and KNA reported that alongside Bishop Voderholzer at the altar was Pope Benedict’s private secretary, Archbishop Georg Ganswein, and the pope’s ambassador to Germany, Archbishop Nikola Eterovic. Among other participants were the former Regensburg bishop, Cardinal Gerhard Muller, and Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx. The retired pope had written to his deceased brother a letter, which was read out loud at the ceremony by Archbishop Ganswein. Remembering his “dear brother, Georg,” Pope Benedict wrote, “May God reward you for everything you have done, have suffered and have given me.” The retired pope said his brother “received and understood his vocation to the priesthood as a musical vocation at the same time.” He recalled his brother’s “cheerfulness, his humor and his joy for the good gifts of creation.” He also noted that his brother came to accept living with almost total blindness for 20 years.

  • 402 Great Spires: Skyscrapers of the New Jerusalem Missing the Point? the Death and Afterlife of Great Spires 401
    402 Great Spires: Skyscrapers of the New Jerusalem Missing the Point? The Death and Afterlife of Great Spires 401 PART V: SPIRES IN THE POSTMEDIEVAL WORLD Chapter 11: Missing the Point? The Death and Afterlife of Great Spires The post-medieval history of great spires and their reception falls, roughly speaking, into four distinct phases, which might be termed demise, sublimation, revival, and contemplation. By the end of the sixteenth century, virtually all the great spire projects in Europe had ground to a halt, as the artistic, cultural, and religious practices of the Middle Ages gave way to those of the early modern era. Crucial factors in this transformation include the spread of Italianate Renaissance classicism, the related rise of royal and courtly patronage, and the shock of the Reformation and its aftermath. In the period from roughly 1530 to 1800, therefore, the Gothic style was almost entirely forsaken. Significantly, however, church spires retained a certain degree of popularity, especially in countries such as Holland, England, and Germany where churches remained important as monuments of local and communal identity. Spire designers working in this period faced the difficult task of marshaling the classical architectural vocabulary to create striving vertical forms appropriate to this originally Gothic monument type. The Gothic Revival movement of the nineteenth century naturally fostered closer engagement with Gothic traditions of spire design, as the completion of major medieval spire projects like those of Cologne and Ulm attests. The archaeological rigor of these initiatives, however, was not matched by consistent scholarly objectivity, since Romanticism and nationalism played important roles in shaping the nineteenth-century view of the Middle Ages.
