The mirror of instruction: the quadrivium 5 The mirror of contemplation: life in nature 6 Building in loveReviewsThe argument for the influence of love on medieval church architecture is exceptional in its originality, scope and development. Given his premises, the argument from theology is of such importance that it is sure to force a rethinking of the influences on medieval church building, while suggesting modern application as well. The discussion of the churches reflects an unusually proficient grasp of the architectural issues. Lewis makes a strong case for understanding Gothic churches as expressions of vernacular architecture-something that historicist focus on developing styles has mostly misunderstood. This book will make a major contribution to the emerging field which one might call theology and the built environment.
