While most books about gothic cathedrals focus on a particular building or on the cathedrals of a specific region, the gothic enterprise considers the idea of the cathedral as a humanly created spaceoxfam bookshop brighton the great gothic cathedrals of europe are among the most astonishing achievements of western culturefinally, by drawing comparisons between gothic cathedrals and other monumental building projects, such as stonehenge, scott expands our understanding of the human impulses that shape our landscapescott explores why medieval people built gothic cathedrals, how they built them, what conception of the divine lay behind their creation, and how religious and secular leaders used cathedrals for social and political purposesas a traveller's companion or a rich source of knowledge for the armchair enthusiast, the gothic enterprise helps us understand how ordinary people managed such tremendous feats of physical and creative energy at a time when technology was rudimentary, famine and disease were rampant, the climate was often harsh, and communal life was unstable and incessantly violentthis engrossing book surveys an era that has fired the historical imagination for centuriesscott's narrative offers a wealth of fascinating details concerning daily life during medieval timessee oxfam website for delivery information read morescott discusses why an impoverished people would commit so many social and personal resources to building something so physically stupendous and what this says about their ideas of the sacred, especially the vital role they ascribed to the divine as a protector against the dangers of everyday lifeevoking feelings of awe and humility, they make us want to understand what inspired the people who had the audacity to build themthe author describes the difficulties master-builders faced in scheduling construction that wouldn't be completed during their own lifetimes, how they managed without adequate numeric systems or paper on which to make detailed drawings, and how climate, natural disasters, wars, variations in the hours of daylight throughout the year, and the celebration of holy days affected the pace and timing of workscott also explains such things as the role of relics, the quarrying and transporting of stone, and the incessant conflict cathedral-building projects caused within their communities

Today's architecture has failed the body with its long heritage of purity of form and aesthetic of cleanlinessa resurgence of interest in flesh, especially in art, has led to a politics of abjection, completely changing traditional aesthetics, and is now giving light to an alternative discussion about the body in architecturethrough the analysis and design of a variety of buildings and projects, flesh is proposed as a concept that extends the meaning of skin, one of architecture's most fundamental metaphorshybrid technologies and interdisciplinary work methodologies are thus required, and lead to a revision of our current architectural practicesee oxfam website for delivery information read moreit seeks to challenge a common misunderstanding of skin as a flat and thin surfacedifferent concepts of flesh are investigated, not only concerning the architectural and aesthetic, but also the biological aspectsthe latter is materialised in form of synthetic neoplasms, which are proposed as new semi-living entities, rather than more commonly derived from scaled-up analogies between biological systems and larger scale architectural constructsthese 'neoplasmatic' creations are identified as partly designed object and partly living material, in which the line between the natural and the artificial is progressively blurredin a time when a pervasive discourse about the impact of digital technologies risks turning the architectural skin ever more disembodied, this book argues for a thick embodied flesh by exploring architectural interfaces that are truly inhabitableoxfam shop castle street this is an "as new" paperback copy of the editionthis book is dedicated to a future vision of the body in architecture, questioning the contemporary relationship between our human flesh and the changing architectural flesh
