About the book >.>.> Four splendid centuries of architec tural innovation carried building in northern Europe from the indigen-ous timber barn and framed hall to the dramatic evocation of space and light in the great cathedrals. Medieval Structure traces the de-velopment of the Gothic style. The author's approach is unique: he focuses not on Gothic decora-tion but on the logic and develop-ment of Gothic architectural struc-ture. Discarding the aesthetics of much art history, he analyses the problems faced by the builders and explains the interplay of tensions, force, and stress. He concentrates on the roof ('the essential element. No roof no building'), on which the best energies of architects and craftsmen have been lavished, and which has always been a major structural problem because it must be carried across a usable space in defiance of gravity. The book begins with a description of the most primitive building form, the simple hut, which in northern lands where wood was plentiful was made of framed timber, and around the Mediterra.
