6 Romanesque churches General Appearance: Dark, solemn spaces Exterior is simple, severe Modest Height Horizontal lines Multiple Units

7 Dark, solemn spaces Romanesque churches and castles were dark, with few openings. Wars and invasions were commonplace, so windows and doors were kept to a minimum. With stone and masonry buildings, buildings were safe from fire and invaders, but required large supports for the weight of walls and vaults.

8 Dark, solemn spaces

9 The new concept of stone vaulting required stronger walls for support. Because of the lack of building knowledge statics, it was necessary to build strong, thick walls with narrow openings.

10 Exterior is simple, severe: A combination of masonry, arches and piers are the basis of the Romanesque style. The main concept for buildings was the addition of pure geometrical forms.

11 Modest Height, Horizontal lines Romanesque churches have an emphasis on horizontal lines, similar to those of Greek & Roman public buildings.

12 Horizontal lines Romanesque Church Vertical lines Gothic Church

13 Multiple Units Several geometric forms make up the building, rather than one shape. This changes in the Gothic era to one large cross shape.

14 Romanesque style Multiple units Several shapes Gothic style one large space
