Westminster remains the place for the coronation of the English sovereign, in which death has a special part (Wood n.p.). Westminster Abbey is that of a Norman Romanesque style. Created with a Gothic style stone structure it epitomizes the Medieval-Gothic Era. Ultimately the monastic hope to rebuild the entire Abbey was connected to Henry III’s offer to pay for it.

Visual Analysis Paper # 2 For my second paper, I choose Trinity Church in Boston. I must admit that I didn’t like this building at first mainly because of its numerous decoration particularly at the lower part if the structure, but for some reason I had to come back and look at this building again and again. And slowly I felt in love with the different components the architect used to create this stimulating piece of art. There is so many different design elements on this building that just when

William Golding’s historical fiction novel, The Spire, illustrates the process of the construction of a spire onto a cathedral, while also portraying Dean Jocelin’s descendance to insanity. The novel is set in the small town of Salisbury in medieval England around the 14th century, and is based off of the real life Salisbury Cathedral, which was also built in the same time period.

Some of the technological innovations that made Gothic architecture possible were the hand tools and stones they had already available to them, the water wheel, and the roman war engine they turned into a hydraulic hammer that chiseled their stones. The first Gothic cathedrals were built in Europe. The reason why creators of these cathedrals build them so large in size was so that they would be large enough to fit their entire city into them. The shape of the floor plan in many of these cathedrals

St Aengus’ Church at Burt or better known as “Burt Church” at Donegal designed by Liam McCormick is one of McCormick’s examples of being able to create a form that is instinctively belongs to its landscape. The construction of the Church began and ran in-between the years of 2964 to 1967. The church’s’ form itself takes its form from the Bronze Age Structure “Grianain of Aileach” which is a hilltop fort in Donegal.
