Is There a Pre-Romanesque Style in Architecture?

Vladimir P. Goss ; Michigan university, Ann Arbor

Sažetak

Having analysed the essential characteristics of the architecture of the Christian West between the 8th and the 11th century, the author puts forward his conviction that a Pre-Romanesque expression is preceding the Romanesque style. The distinguishing features of the Pre-Romanesque architecture are biaxiality, the absence of correspondence
between the interior organization of space and that of the exterior wall-surfaces, the presence of hidden interior units undistinguishable from the outside, and spatial discontinuity. The author enumerates and exarnines in detail the examples from Dalmatia, Switzerland, Spain, England, and Moravia, but he finds the Pre-Romanesque traits partially in the architecture of the Eastern Christianity too. From his paper emerges a picture of a slow, gradual and tortuous transition of the Medieval World from its childhood and youth to full maturity.
