glass windows of Notre Dame de Reims - Light intimate contemplation,
reading the Bible through the eyes of the illiterate medieval man |
" Constructio hominis , constructio lapidum . "
Labor in the stone , under the sweat of his brow , dignity arises, in the work of construction of social being .
Man builds , it builds structure and also works as a medieval cathedral . This reflects in its structure , the face and the ideas of his time .
In its holistic terms , understanding the whole person , involves the understanding of time and space integrated , when we study the construction of medieval thought and works like cathedrals , symbol of the Divine , planted in the ground plane and its towers pointing to infinity .
The medieval mind is based on the subjective and the spiritual . Indelible marks in contemporary, when the desire to build conspires with the vision of the beautiful, medieval man can , with the stone , perpetuate their faith in monuments of magnitude and beauty, touching the infinite and expressing what is more , in the experiment human .
The construction of a cathedral reflects the tensions and conflicts of the ideas of his time . Paradoxes , violent contrasts , botaréis floating columns that rise to the heavens.
The face reflected in the medieval stone cathedral, virtue and sin , sensuality and purity , reason and faith .
Contrasts , oppression , finitude and grandeur in the same space and time ,
in " edificare " of a medieval cathedral.
