| Discussion | Salisbury Cathedral Commentary
"Rare example of an English Gothic church built entirely to one basic design. Internal storeys clearly separated into strong horizontal bands: extensive use of Purbeck marble to create a strongly coloured scheme." — Sir Banister Fletcher. A History of Architecture. p436. "...the cathedral at Salisbury builds itself with distinct compartments in the manner of Romanesque design. This is evident in the massing that spreads out placidly, low and generous, with only the somewhat oversized crossing tower for a vertical accent. The west towers are modest. They are set beside the faŤade on individual bases, as if they did not quite belong to it. Together they make a richly decorative frontispiece which, despite the three portals that correspond to aisles and nave, has its own life, independent of interior arrangements." "Inside, we have the same layered effect. The nave piers carry only their arcades, and the widespread triforium has its own system of supports." — Spiro Kostof. A History of Architecture: Settings and Rituals. p346. Details "Chapter house and cloister [built] 1263-84, the former closely modeled on the slightly earlier one at Westminster." — Sir Banister Fletcher. A History of Architecture. p436. | ||||
