パッケのランス大聖堂西正面の設計基準線にみられる幾何学図形について

抄録

Based on consideration of an actual condition of a mesurment in the medieval times, Japan-P.Paquet presumes that the Pythagorean triangle, which easily establishes 16-divided-squares with a rope, was functionally handled to lay out a church on a site. Also with the idea of actual foot derived from two figures mentioned above, he analyzes the fundamental design system of several French medieval churches, including cathedral of Reims. This paper examines whether a double square which was put to practical use for designing a church can be applied in the fundamental design system of a facade of cathedral of Reims proposed by Jean-P.Paquet and shows that the geometrical figure was possibly employed in a design process of the cathedral.
