The Gothic cathedral surpasses many other achievements of European civilization in persuasiveness, scale and significance. However, due to various historical reasons and internal differences, Russian culture was not too interested in Gothic, and the Gothic architectural system is alien and unusual for the modern Russian viewer. The task of this lecture course is to show the originality of Gothic in its entirety, to explain the logic of constructing a structure, the peculiarities of the vision of space and the order system.
At the lectures of the course, students will be presented the sequential development of the Gothic architecture of France and other European countries in chronological order: the appearance of the first Gothic church of the Abbey of Saint-Denis in the 1140s, the search for the early stage of Gothic on the example of the cathedrals of Senlis, Noyon, Lahn and Paris, the power and the mind of the architecture of the era of the Great Cathedrals - Chartres, Bourges, Reims, Amiens, Beauvais and Le Mans.
