Chartres: Sacred Geometry, Sacred Space
Product Description
Chartres: Sacred Geometry, Sacred Space
Gordon Strachan, author of Jesus the Master Builder (Floris Books), explores the magnificent structure of Chartres Cathedral, and examines the influences on the medieval master builders.
Using Chartres as a starting point, Dr Strachan suggests that the origins of the Gothic style may lie in Islamic architecture. He goes on to consider how the experience of a particular architectural space affects us, and how sacred geometry works.
Beautifully illustrated, this is an inspiring and informative book for anyone interested in religious architecture and spirituality.
