文档介绍：DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION IN
ROMANESQUE ARCHITECTURE
>
In this study, C. Edson Armi offers a fresh interpretation of Roman-
esque architecture. Armi focuses on buildings in southern France,
northern Italy, Catalonia, and Switzerland, the regions where Ro-
manesque architecture first appeared around . 1000. He integrates
the study of medieval structure with an understanding of construc-
tion, decoration, and articulation in an effort to determine the ori-
gins and originality of medieval architecture and the formation of
the High Romanesque style, especially in Burgundy, at sites such as
Cluny III. Relying on a close analysis of the fabric of key buildings,
Armi’s in-depth study reveals new knowledge about design deci-
sions in the early Middle Ages. It also demonstrates that the mature
Romanesque of the twelfth century continues many of the applica-
tions created and perfected over the previous one hundred years.
C. Edson Armi is a professor at the Department of History of Art and
Architecture at the University of California, Santa Barbara. A scholar
of medieval art and architecture, he is the author of the prizewinning
Masons and Sculptors in Romanesque Burgundy and The “Headmaster” of
Chartres and the Origins of “Gothic” Sculpture.
