  • 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.

Bauinformation Fahrplanänderungen Schienenersatzverkehr Sehr geehrte Fahrgäste, vom 1. bis 8. September 2019 muss der Streckenabschnitt zwischen Kressbronn und Lindau Hbf gesperrt werden. Grund sind Arbeiten zur Inbetriebnahme des „Elektronischen Stellwerkes“ in Lindau und in Nonnenhorn sowie Weichenarbeiten in Lindau-Aeschach. Es wird ein Schienenersatzverkehr (SEV) eingerichtet. Zwischen Kressbronn und Lindau Hbf fahren Schnellbusse ohne Halt in Nonnenhorn, Enzisweiler und Lindau-Aeschach sowie Busse mit Unterwegshalt. Aufgrund der längeren Fahrzeiten der Busse können die Anschlusszüge in Lindau nicht erreicht werden. In der Gegenrichtung fahren die Busse in Lindau Hbf ca. 20 Minuten früher ab, um in Kressbronn die Züge nach Friedrichshafen zu erreichen. Bitte beachten Sie, dass die Ersatzbusse nicht immer die Haltestellen direkt am Bahnhof anfahren.
