Gothic Style and Informatics: Structural Analysis of Gothic Churches

本提案的目的是用信息学的方法对著名的哥特式教堂进行结构分析。我们注意到法国的大教堂，它的英国变体，德国南部的牧师和北部的砖砌教堂。该方法包括上述类的至少一个实例的虚拟构造、上述类内变化的确定以及所述类之间的差异和共性。我们也“建造”新的教会。虚拟的由内而外设计使用工业CAD工具，在方法论、多层次和交互的过程中，从多个应用程序从基本元素建立的模式开始，确定相应的结构元素（形状）和形式元素（细节）。元素和它们的组合被重用。因此，我们产生了结构分析的描述。我们希望在信息学和建筑史之间开启一种新的讨论。

The aim of this proposal is the structural analysis of Gothic churches of the well-known classes by an Informatics method. We regard French cathedrals, the English variant thereof, minsters of Southern Germany and brickstone churches of the nordth. The method consits of a virtual construction of at least one example of the above classes, the determination of the variation within the above classes, and the difference and commonalities between the classes.We als "construct" new churches.The virtual inside-out design uses an industrial CAD tool in a methodoligical, multilevel, and interactive process starting with a pattern built up from basic elements by muliple application, determining the corresponding structural elements (shape) and form elements.(details). Elements and their composition are reused. Therby we aproduce a description of the structural analysis. We hope to initiate a new discussion between Informatics and History of Buildings.
