The great cathedrals and churches of the medieval West continue to
awe. How were they built, and why do they remain standing? What did
their builders know about what they were doing? These questions
have given rise to considerable controversy, which is fully
reflected in the papers selected here. The first section of the
book is concerned with the medieval builders and their design
methods; the second focuses on engineering issues in the context of
the infamous collapse of the choir at Beauvais in 1284. The
following papers extend the analysis into the 15th century, looking
for example at Brunelleschi's dome for Florence Cathedral, and deal
with the often neglected structures of roofs, towers and spires.
