34. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Windows In Church Architecture A history of the use and form of windows in Christian houses of worship from the Catholic Encyclopedia. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15653b.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... W > Windows in Church Architecture Windows in Church Architecture From the beginning Christian churches , in contrast to the ancient temples , were intended to be places for the assembling of the faithful . The temperament of the people of the East and of the South where Christian houses of worship first appeared, required the admission of much light by large openings in the walls, that is, by windows. As a matter of fact the early Christian basilicas were richly provided with large windows, placed partly in the central nave , that was raised for this purpose, partly in the side aisles and . In Western Europe , or rather in the countries under Roman influence, the places where the windows existed on the side aisles can no longer be identified with absolute certainty , owing to the chapels and additions that were later frequently built. In the East, however, where it was customary to select isolated sites for church buildings large windows were the rule. The place of the window was determined by the architectural membering of the basilica , the distance between two columns generally indicating the position of a window. However, there were endless exceptions to this rule in the

35. Medieval Church Architecture Architecture played a very important role for the church in Medieval England. The more splendid the architecture, the more the church believed it was praising God. http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/medieval_church_architecture.htm

Medieval Church Architecture Online College and University Degree Guide History Learning Site Medieval England > Medieval Church Architecture Architecture played a very important role for the church in Medieval England . The more splendid the architecture, the more the church believed it was praising God. The church in Medieval England poured vast sums of money into the creation of grandiose architectural projects that peaked in the cathedrals at Canterbury and York. Medieval churches and cathedrals were superbly built. No peasant wattle and daub homes exist anymore as they were so crudely made. But the vast sums accrued by the church (primarily from the poorer classes) gave it the opportunity to spend on large building projects. Many of the churches and cathedrals that survive from medieval times have also had additions to them. Therefore, we can identify different building styles in the same complete building. For example, York Minster contains sections that can be traced to 1080 to 1100, 1170, major expansion work between 1220 to 1253, further expansion from 1291 to 1360 and the completion of the Central Tower which took from 1407 to 1465. Over the near 400 years of development, different styles would have developed and give historians an in-depth look at changes in church architectural styles. The cathedrals started in the reign of William the Conqueror were the largest buildings seen in England up to that time. With the exception of Worcester Cathedral, William appointed Norman bishops to these cathedrals. Therefore, these men would have been heavily influenced by the architecture used in Normandy and this style came to dominate the architecture of the cathedrals built under William. Norman architecture is also referred to as Romanesque because it was influenced in turn by the Ancient Romans.

Byzantine Architecture The Golden Age of Byzantine Architecture was under the rule of Justian in 527-565. It was during this period that the most famous examples of all Byzantine Architecture was built, the Hagia Sophia. The Hagia Sophia was rebuilt from 532 to 537 after the previous church was destroyed by riots . This church has some unique features which became the patterns for Byzantine Architecture for years after. The style of the Hagia Sophia or Church of Divine Wisdom, was to have a large dome in the middle of the structure. The dome has a unique form in that it rest on 4 massive pillars which are arranged in a square. The dome remained the main focus of the Byzantine Church for the remainder of the empire. The Eastern Orthodox preferred a low light, somber, and almost mysterious mood in their services. The clergy worked often behind the scenes with brief appearances. They did not embrace the loud organs and congregational worship which is seen in the western Catholic Church. So the Hagia Sophia became the model for the Byzantine church because was an architectural style that fit with the type of worship the Orthodox church wanted to emphasize.

Houston Deco: Modernistic Architecture of the Texas Coast , the companion book to this Web site, is now available through the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance online bookstore . Photographed by GHPA staff members Jim Parsons and David Bush, this book documents Art Deco and Art Moderne buildings across southeast Texas through more than 100 original color photographs. (The image on the cover is a detail of a lobby mural in Houston City Hall Houston Deco was published with generous support from the Houston Architecture Foundation and the Strake Foundation. Modernistic architecture, which encompasses Art Deco and Art Moderne design, flourished between the end of World War I and the beginning of World War II. Although the style arrived in Houston comparatively late in the 1920s, it came at a critical time in the city's development, when Houston was beginning the transition from medium-sized Southern city to major American metropolis. The changes brought about by the arrival of modernistic architecture are clearly illustrated by the two tallest buildings constructed in Houston in the 1920s. The Niels Esperson Building (1927, right) is covered with detailing inspired by classical architecture, while the Gulf Building (1929, far right) is comparatively austere. Despite these differences, modernistic buildings did not completely break with the past. The Gulf Building is influenced by Gothic design, and many of the city's Art Deco buildings exhibit stylized versions of classical architectural details.

The flowering of the Episcopal Church in America in the 1840s and 1850s led to numerous and widespread commissions to Upjohn for church buildings. These churches, and those illustrated in publications like his Rural Architecture (1852), served as patterns for countless buildings throughout the country.
