Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred architecture as reality and metaphor in secularised Western society Christian monasteries and convents, built throughout Europe for the best part of 1,500 years, are now at a crossroads. This study attempts to understand the sacred architecture of monasteries as a process of the tangible and symbolic organisation of space and time for religious communities. Despite the weight of seemingly immutable monastic tradition, architecture has contributed to developing specific religious identities and played a fundamental part in the reformation of different forms of religious life according to the changing needs of society. The cloister is the focal point of this book because it is both architecture, a physically built reality, and a metaphor for the religious life that takes place within it. Life Inside the Cloister also addresses the afterlife and heritagisation of monastic architecture in secularised Western society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE EARLY CISTERCIAN ABBEYS of France have long been revered for their exquisitely proportioned spaces and ethereal acoustics. Together with the great cathedrals, these remarkable medieval buildings embody the profound mastery of architecture that blossomed in twelfth- and thirteenth-century Europe. Built by the Cistercian order of monks nearly 900 years ago, these structures are renowned among contemporary architects and artists for the austere, almost minimal nature of their design and construction. Cistercian architecture draws together the fundamentals of masonry and geometry to create a harmony of stone and light, of uncluttered interior volumes and modest external masses. The buildings and ruins that remain today are immensely, almost unspeakably refined. Upon entering le Thoronet or Senanque, Fontenay or Silvacane, one is deeply touched by the quality of the silence and the light. Free by design of distracting details, these are places of recollection, of concentration, of serenity. "Every force evolves a form", wrote the American Shakers, who mirrored the original Cistercian impulse in both their values and their refined craftsmanship. If the first force that shaped Cistercian architecture was a quest for the spiritual life through simplicity, the second was the constructive genius of architects and masons who perceived in that simplicity an occasion to practice their art with astonishing intelligence and sensitivity. David Heald's luminous photographs provide an extraordinary record of exploration through more than a decade of periodic visits to Cistercian places throughout France. He puts before us not just views but moments -- moments when light enters a space or fallson an exterior in ways that illuminate and reveal. His evocative photographs offer loving witness to the bare brilliance, power, and subtlety of early Cistercian architecture. The text by Terryl N. Kinder offers a concise introduction to the history and milieu of the early Cistercians and the forces that brought forth the architecture. Her discussion of the Rule of Saint Benedict and its meaning for the Cistercians, both ancient and contemporary, provides a foundation for understanding these buildings that is informed by the most recent scholarship and archeological research.

This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monasticism, in all of its variations, was a feature of almost every landscape in the medieval West. So ubiquitous were religious women and men throughout the Middle Ages that all medievalists encounter monasticism in their intellectual worlds. While there is enormous interest in medieval monasticism among Anglophone scholars, language is often a barrier to accessing some of the most important and groundbreaking research emerging from Europe. The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West offers a comprehensive treatment of medieval monasticism, from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. The essays, specially commissioned for this volume and written by an international team of scholars, with contributors from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, cover a range of topics and themes and represent the most up-to-date discoveries on this topic.
