Summary

A groundbreaking exploration of Gothic architecture, this volume advances our understanding through high-technology research methods pioneered by Robert Mark and Andrew Tallon. Utilizing photogrammetric and laser-scanned building surveys, the study offers unprecedented geometrical and structural analyses of iconic sites, including Notre-Dame in Paris and the cathedrals of Reims and Wells. The work not only honors Mark and Tallon's contributions but also provides new perspectives on major churches such as the abbeys of Saint-Denis and Alcobaça, Santa Maria Novella in Florence, and Clermont Cathedral. Contributors from diverse disciplines combine personal reminiscences with meticulous historiographical discussions, enriching the field with innovative insights.
