Description

Carl Barnes's work as an architectural historian began with his study of Soissons Cathedral, where he made significant contributions to the debate over the relationship between Soissons and Chartres, and, more generally, to the understanding of crucial developments in architecture around 1200 in Northern France. It was from this point that he entered the discussion of Villard de Honnecourt's role at Reims, Laon, Meaux, Saint-Quentin, Lausanne, and Cambrai, and in Cistercian architecture from Vaucelles in the Cambresis to Pilis, Hungary. This session will bring together scholars whose work continues to build on our understanding of Gothic design at these and related sites.
