Who Built the Churches?1st Half of the 11th Century Church Building gained Momentum
Monks – Ivory Carvings, Embroidery, Arts of the Cloister
Architecture was one of the Mechanical Arts, not Liberal Arts
Architects had an Inferior Social Status
Erected by Stone Masons, ordinary workmen, hired by the Monks
Romansque: Common TraitsThick Stone Walls, Small Windows – Fortresslike Appearance, Impression of Great Solidity and Heaviness .
Articulation of Every Structural Division to Give Impression of Unity: Modular System of Construction with Interiors Divided in Bays. Differs from Smoothness of Early Christian Architecture.
Fat Piers supporting Round Arches and Barrel Vaults
Diversity throughout Countries and even within a Countrybecause of Climate, Traditions, Materials and Communication
