Using detailed analyses of individual buildings as a point of
departure, Professor Buchwald here examines various approaches to
Byzantine architectural forms, and raises questions concerning the
use of stylistic and other forms of analysis. One group of articles
focuses on stylistic currents in Asia Minor, including that of the
13th-century Lascarid dynasty, previously unknown. Others explore
methods which appear to have been used in the design of Byzantine
churches, such as dimensional 'rules of thumb', modular and
geometric systems of proportion, and the quadratura, hitherto
recognised only in Western architecture. The final essays pose
further questions: what were the goals and achievements of
Byzantine architects, when they transformed older existing
buildings? How, and why, did they use stereometric Euclidean
geometry? And was there any ultimately Platonic connection?
