Funny, how the knowledge about cathedral building was rather well preserved. After all, all cathedrals still standing have a cadrebof employed masons and other artisans to maintain and renovate them. The actual building is dofferent, I assume an lot of that will be rediscovered during the Notre Dam restauration.
- falcolas 3y agoIt's my belief that the underpinning design principles have not been lost - cathedrals are quite well studied by architects as I understand it. So, while some of the specifics are probably having to be identified and re-implemented, the basics are broadly understood. Stonemasons as a mass-employer has gone away, but like blacksmithing there are still individuals out there who carry on the tradition.
