Online Lecture: Designing Chartres, A Geometrical Perspective The Millenium Celebrations of Chartres Cathedral continue with an Online Lecture Series. In collaboration with the University of Iowa and Villa Albertine, delve into the mysteries of medieval architecture with Professor Robert Bork, an expert in Gothic architecture. How did medieval builders in Chartres use geometry to design their remarkable cathedral? Taking advantage of laser-scanned survey data and modern design software, Robert Bork sheds new light on this fundamental question, demonstrating both remarkable continuity in the builders’ methods and previously unrecognized revisions to the cathedral’s design in the years around 1200.
