The Wise Master Builder: Platonic Geometry in Plans of Medieval Abbeys and Cathederals: Platonic Geometry in Plans of Medieval Abbeys and Cathederals

This title was first published in 2000: Did the plan of medieval churches have any underlying symbolic meaning? This work re-opens the debate about the importance of geometry and symbolism in medieval architectural design and argues the case for attributing an intellectual meaning to the planning of abbeys and cathedrals.
