Summary
A study of Burgos Cathedral and associated Gothic churches reveals three distinct architectural scales, achieved through versatile typology and simple metric rules. These findings suggest that the stonemason groups' designs were adaptable yet standardized, enabling widespread replication across Spain during the 13th and 14th centuries. The research analyzes ground-plan geometry and proportions to uncover underlying design principles, offering new insights into the diffusion of Gothic architecture.
