How to build a cathedral

Gothic cathedrals, astonishing feats of construction and engineering from a period before steel structures and industrial machines, remain, hundreds of years after their construction, breathtaking in their scale and grandeur. Focusing on the golden age of the construction of these historic symbols of the Christian faith, How to Build a Cathedral examines each element of the structure one by one, from the ground plan to the completion of the spire, and explains the medieval building process in detail. Written by one of the world's foremost architectural historians, this work offers a comprehensive and illuminating portrait of the genius of the medieval architect. It explores and describes the construction of these masterpieces, from the ground plan to the spire elevation. Beautiful engravings, specially prepared illustrations and fold-out pages allow for a detailed examination of the construction of a cathedral. Sixteen full-colour pages give an insight into medieval building techniques, stained glass windows and coloured masonry.
