This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent English Ecclesiastical Architecture In planning a modern church it is the business of the architect to discover the general lines which will produce the best possible building under given conditions. Oi these conditions, those of cost, of situation, and of material are in very few cases exactly alike. But, as our churches are built for a definite purpose, there are certain conditions of space and arrangement which should in no case be disregarded. The publications referred to have left little to be said upon these matters, yet it is obvious from what we see every day that the existence of a fairly well understood set of rules does not ensure our possessing a worthy architecture. To secure this, our architects must cultivate their imagination and their sense of proportion; above all, they must take pains. The most hopeless of our modern churches are not so often the work of inexperienced men as the routine productions of diocesan surveyors' ofiices.

This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to English Church Architecture, From the Eleventh to the Sixteenth Century, Vol. 1 One specially novel feature should be mentioned. The treatment of the main constructional subjects is throughout analytical. But even if this treatment is fairly adequate, no student can arrive at the end of such chapters as those on vaulting. Abutments, window tracery, roofs, etc., without considerable mental strain. If he has read faithfully, and looked up his cross-references as he should have done, there may remain with him a bird's-eye view of the whole subject; but he is very far from grasp or mastery. What he ought to do is to read the chapter straightway a second and even a third time. This, however, cannot be expected of a jaded reader; he wants a change, not a second helping of fish, but an omelette or an entree. Such a change is now provided. The more important subjects, after being treated analytically, are then discussed over again, but in the concrete, rag, after 106 pages setting forth the science and art of vault construction, fifty-seven individual vaults are selected for study, and are dissected separately. If the reader will turn to these, he will find all the principles of construction which he has read about in the text set forth over again, but in such different fashion that he will hardly notice that the new dish is after all but a réchauffé. This application of the concrete method of study, aided by a c0pious apparatus of diagrams, has not been attempted before, and, it is believed, will be found really helpful. Nor will the readers for whom this book has been prepared be likely to complain that here and there it is a good deal more than a treatise on building construction. It is good for those who are to be introduced to medizeval church architecture to know not only how a church was built, but why it was built, who built it, who served in it, who worshipped in it, and what manner of worship was theirs - Ancient or Modern. Accordingly, much space has been devoted in the introductory chapters to matters of human interest, before plunging into stones and mortar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Architecture: Illustrated With Thirty-Five Lithographic Plates, From Original Designs But the man of taste and appreciation will not fail to remark that an essential characteristic of all Gothic work, whether in stone, wood, or glass, is that peculiar ine quality of surface which arises from a slight difference in the reflection from, or refraction through, the'pieces'which compose the sur face. No two stones laid together will ever have their faces so exactly in the same plane as to reflect the light at exactly the same angle, unless extraordinary care has been taken to spoil the work by an over effort in this particular. No boards and beams In the old work were planed quite smooth, but every cut of the chisel or axe with which they were dressed reflects. In a different di rection. And, in'like manner, no piece of old window-glass was so uniform in thick ness and texture throughout as not to re fract the light unequally, and so produce what is called 'the gem-like and streaky appearance, which modern glass makers have long tried to imitate by various kinds of artificial streaking and specking.
