    About this ebook

    "Architecture: Gothic and Renaissance" is a technical book explaining every nail and bolt in the construction of Gothic and Renaissance buildings. The author presents the evolution of the first rough Gothic buildings, which he refers to early English architecture, into the beautiful creations they became under the influence of other cultures. The book describes the building techniques changes as the Gothic period's assimilation rose and fell and the gradual transition into the Renaissance period.
