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 Christian architecture The Renaissance returned to the round-arched clustered windows of the Romanesque style, particularly in brick buildings. Still light openings with slender connexions between them and enclosed in rectangular frames are to found in houses built of stone, particularly in the late Renaissance . They generally received as ornament, in imitation of antiquity, a frame of broad profile, which at the height of the Renaissance was generally surrounded by two supports, pilasters, or columns, and the entablature rested upon these. Framing of this kind has many forms, but the following are the most noticeable styles: The opening for light is enclosed by a frame running parallel to it which has the profile of an architrave and generally has a horizontal cornice as a finish at the top (simple framework);

Buildings of Ireland Monaghan / Introduction Welcome to our new section dealing with the many interesting buildings around county Monaghan in southern Ulster. Monaghan formed part of the ancient territory of Oriel, and was known as the MacMahon country because of the dominance of that powerful clan. From the 13th to the 16th century the MacMahon family controlled Monaghan, but in 1589 control passed to the British crown. Monaghan is in the traditional province of Ulster in northeastern Ireland bordered on the northwest, north, and northeast by Northern Ireland and on the southeast, south, and southwest by counties Louth, Meath, and Cavan. The county covers 1,290 sq km (498 sq mi). As you can understand, this is a pretty large undertaking which is why we will be adding buildings and places as we cover them.

Home Join Adoremus Bulletin Archive ... Search Site Online Edition Vol. III, No. 7: October 1997 The Roots of Modernist Church Architecture by Duncan Stroik "The Church has not adopted any particular style of art as her own.... The art of our own times from every race and country shall also be given free scope in the Church, provided it bring to the task the reverence and honor due to the sacred buildings and rites". Sacrosanctum Concilium , no. 123 "If you wish to see great Modernist architecture you must have plenty of time and your own Lear jet". - Robert Krier T o many educated observers, it would seem that the reductionist buildings commissioned for Roman Catholic worship today are the direct corollary of Church teaching, modern liturgical studies and contemporary theology. Of course, if that were so, Modernist architecture would be the officially sanctioned style of the Church and difficult to criticize. Indeed, in the 1960s after the Vatican Council, there was a great surge of construction of austere churches which often resembled commercial or factory buildings, bearing out the belief that they were mandated by the spirit of Vatican II. But these concrete boxes, barn-like shelters and sculptural masses all had precedent in the pre-conciliar era. In fact, radical new church configurations had been experimented with since the dawn of Modernism in the late 19th century. The idea to model churches on auditoria, Greek theaters, large houses, or theaters in-the-round grew out of low church Protestant worship, whereas the reductionism of post-Conciliar churches grew out of the Modernist architectural movement in Europe.

34. OLD ARCHITECTURE IN MACEDONIA An illustrated history from Cyber Macedonia from the sixth to the nineteenth centuries, including churches, monasteries and houses. http://www.f1.net.au/users/igortoni/architeo.html

OLD ARCHITECTURE IN MACEDONIA Following the creative architectural work in Macedonia, a continuity of intensive production was marked by socio-political, economic, and cultural conditions. In the course of the settlement in Macedonia territory, during the sixth and part of the seventh century, architectural work in comparison with the previous, later ancient period decrease, was influenced by their preparation for new conditions of living in a milieu with a rather developed artistic tradition. In the course of the second half of the ninth century (after the conversion into Christianity), architectural activity began in earnest particularly during the time of Bishop's Kliment and Naum, the pupils of Kiril and Metodij, as well as during Samuel. The main centres were in the region of Lake Ohrid and Prespa. Kliment built the monastery of St. Pantelemon in Ohrid (893) in the shape of a trikonchos, and its ruins were discovered in the foundations of the Imaret mosque. Several years later, Naum erected the church of St.Arangel, on the left bank of lake Ohrid. Also in trikonchos shape and its foundation have been excavated under the present - day church of St. Naum. St. Arangel's church dates from the Samuel's period (about 980) built on the island of the same name in Mala Prespa (Small Prespa), as well as the church of St. Sofia, renovated in the time of Archbishop Lean (1037-56). Its shape is the oriental three-nave basilica with "transept" complemented with two storeys "exnartex" (1313/14). The present shape dates from the Turkish period, when it was transformed into a mosque. Several churches were erected in that time such as St. Leontie in Vodori (the western church), and the Virgin Mary of Eleusa in Veljusi. Mentioned for the first time in 1085, both churches in the Strumica region as well as the church in Drenova near Kavadarci.

His major churches: St Alphege, Greenwich; St Anne, Limehouse; St George-in-the-East; Christ Church, Spitalfields; St George, Bloomsbury; St Mary Woolnoth: these have become important loci of London occult and psychogeographical thought - originally brought to the attention of the reading public by Iain Sinclair in Lud Heat, the book which provided the impetus and the inspiration for Peter Ackroyd's Hawksmoor. Both Ackroyd and Sinclair see Hawksmoor's churches as centres of malevolent energies which are connected with the Ratcliffe Highway and Whitechapel murders; Sinclair places the churches at the angles of a sign of Set, and sees them as cult centres, temples for malignancies which have yet to be laid to rest: From what is known of Hawksmoor it is possible to imagine that he did work a code into the buildings, knowingly or unknowingly, templates of meaning, bands of continuing ritual. The building should be a Temple, an active place, a high metaphor.

36. Russian Church Architecture The boldest departures from Byzantine architecture were the churches of the Ascension at Kolomenskoye (1532) and the Decapitation of St. http://russia-in-us.com/Religion/Christianity/architec.htm

Russian Church Architecture Russian Church Architecture Kievan Rus was converted to Christianity in 988, and in Kiev, its dominant political and cultural centre, mosaics, which date from about 1045, were the work of Byzantine craftsmen. Other Byzantine artists and artisans worked intermittently in the area from that time onward, so that Russian art as a whole was founded on a Byzantine basis. Architecture and icon painting grew up as important independent arts, both having their beginnings during this period. From Kiev the Byzantine style of architecture soon spread throughout the principalities of Novgorod and Vladimir-Suzdal. The emphasis of the Byzantine church on the physical splendour of its edifices was a cardinal factor in determining the characteristics of Russian ecclesiastical architecture. Everything connected with the design and decoration of the new churches followed the Byzantine pattern; and the standard scheme of the Greek churchthe cross inscribed in a rectangle and the dome supported on piers or on pendentivesbecame the accepted type for Orthodox churches. The design and support of the central dome or cupola, together with the number and disposition of the subsidiary cupolas, remained for a long time the principal theme of Russian architecture. The main monuments of Kiev were the Church of the Tithes (989-996), the Cathedral of St. Sophia (1037), and the Church of the Assumption in the Monastery of the Caves (1073-78). All of these churches were built in the Byzantine tradition, though certain influences from Bulgaria, Georgia, and Armenia can be discerned. The Cathedral of St. Sophia is the only structure of this period that still stands and retains, at least in the interior, something of its original form. The central part of the cathedral was in the form of a Greek cross. The nave and four aisles terminated in semicircular apses, and it had 13 cupolas (symbolizing Christ and his Apostles). It was reconstructed and enlarged at the end of the 17th century, and it was later obscured by additional bays and stories to its lateral galleries, a new tower, and many bizarre Baroque cupolas. Only five apses and the central interior portion survive from the 11th century.

Alan Petersen EARLY CHRISTIAN ARCHITECTURE Basilica Plan Churches Following the Edict of Milan in 313 Constantine began an extensive building program to provide churches and meeting places for Christians. Previously they met in private homes that had rooms for worship. The first Christian churches used Roman structural and design elements. The basilica evolved into the essential design for the church that is still used today.

ALGE JANKEVICIENE LITHUANIAN WOODEN CHURCH ARCHITECTURE VILNIAUS DAILES AKADEMIJOS LEIDYKLA, 1998 HOME CHURCHES CHAPELS BELFRIES Wooden sacred buildings are a significant part of Lithuanian national cultural heritage. There are 265 wooden churches, more than one hundred chapels and about 220 belfries in Lithuania. These buildings have not been sufficiently investigated yet This monograph has added a new material to the science of the history of architecture on Lithuanian wooden churches, chapels and belfries. Plentiful data of historical and natural investigation are analysed and systematised in the book. In the research study: a) the types and variants of the solutions of sacred buildings are fixed, b) the development of the types of architecture through each historical period to the year of 1918 is revealed, c) the interrelation between folk and professional architecture in the composition of buildings is explained, d) distinctive features of church architecture in Lithuanian ethnic regions and the relationship with the buildings from neighbouring sites is investigated. The results allow to make these generalised conclusions: 1. Lithuanian wooden sacred buildings are an intermediate link between the folk and professional architecture. The two trends are combined in their composition with the folk or professional element dominant alternatively.
