Geometry and Load-Bearing Historical Structures

Regarding the statics and composition, geometry plays a significant role especially in the Gothic era. The fundamental period geometrical approaches to designing (ad quadratum, ad triangulum) should have provided a "proper" shape to a construction and thus the ability to be not only beautiful, but also strong and stabile enough. This research is aimed to the geometrical influence on the shape of a load-bearing structure and fosuces especially on the less researched area of Central Europe.
