if anyone is interested, ken follett's pillars of the earth trilogy is a historical fiction retelling of the inter-generational work of building cathedrals. i haven't read it in a long time, but it gave me my love for sacred architecture. funnily enough, follett wrote a glowing review that was plastered on the textbook i was assigned for a gothic cathedral course i took in college if that tells you anything!
For whatever reason you didn't bother to mention that these beautiful structures were initiate and supported by the Catholic Church and the Christian culture of the inhabitants as a testament and worship to God.
I love this! "Friendly competition", also known as "cooperative competition", or "coopetition", is how I like to write software. It advances the art while still urging each competitor to do his best work.
Thank you. By the way, Regarding the shroud you had mentioned on X. Think about it. As a ghost, dispersion then cohesive molecules with skin and dirt, interacting and penetrating through cloth. Starting from the top the body begins sitting upward, showing larger amount of collective particles in the cloth, creating an intense imagery of the body than the lower half of the body which begins to float. Can it create an image of a man? The body with cloth wrapped around it? What is your thoughts?
J. M. Keynes: “Planning should take place in a community in which as many people as possible, both leaders and followers, wholly share your own moral position. Moderate planning will be safe if those carrying it out are rightly orientated in their minds and hearts to the moral issue.”
You might also enjoy looking at a video channel called My Lunch Break found on most platforms. He also analyses these old world buildings, maps, diagrams and other artwork all the while posing poignant, thought provoking questions as to how these magnificent structures came to be.

Already taken as read I should think.
Sure. The Church was the sacred "glue" that held together the community. Great article.
