this is a cathedral in um France it was a place where um there was a really important relic of Mary so this became an important pilgrimage site that means that lots of Christians would come to visit this site to look at that relic we see the um groin vaults here and you can see they kind of make this X so this is where the two barrel vaults join together and then um some of the other elements are the um clair story here and this allows light to come into the center of the church space um this is still an active church and we can see that folks are are hanging out and looking at all of the stained glass i did want to take us up into the rafters of the church here so you can see that um the church has now been reinforced with all sorts of modern materials but you get a sense of the framework that the um uh was originally put in place to uh support the whole building and we also see the other side of those groin vaults from the interior here at Notradam de Perry this is where the fire started in this similar space that wood in that church was I think from the 1300s so it was 700 years old and therefore extremely prone to flammability uh let's see if we can go back downstairs i don't know we we'll start from the beginning hang on one second let's go back no okay um interior there we go so this is the front of the church we see that there are three portals through the main doorway and um the center one was usually reserved for um the royal family uh when they made visits and then the other two um doors were reserved for the lay and the the normal people the um door is decorated with vousars here and then we actually see the lintil and the post and lentil system used um here as well so we're seeing a lot of the things that we have discussed before um let us look at the Pantheon now the Pantheon was originally constructed by Marcus Agria and then later improved upon by either Trajan or Hadrien and it is dedicated to all of the divine beings um that were worshiped by the Romans and we see this large oculus at the center of the dome here this relieves some of the weight of the pressure that would go down into the walls of the the building and it also allows light to filter into the interior this is still open to the sky so people love to go to the Pantheon um tourists love to go to the Pantheon on days when it's raining or snowing because it falls in through the oculus and on Pentecost which is an important Christian holiday the Roman firefighters crawl up to the top and um throw rose petals down into the middle um of the church which would be a really amazing things to see the roof um weight is also alleviated by these elements here which are called coffers and they're just these recessed areas so this whole thing is made by concrete a web of brick was made and then concrete was molded around the exterior and now it is a Christian church but we see that there were these niches set into the walls and this is where cult statues of all the divine beings like in this model here um would have originally appeared so very cool um the Parthonon as we've already discussed um was constructed for Athena and we can see that it uses both Doric and ionic construction styles so the exterior has all of the um Doric columns with these fluted elements and like the small um ainus that looks a little bit like a pillow each of these are a metape um separated by a triglyph and each metipe has a small relief sculpture one of the most important celebrations at the parthonon was the panathnaic festival and the interior um sculpture um if we get a look at it uh the freezes there illustrate the panathnaic um sculpture these are the pediments these triangular insets and we can see that they are heavily decorated with sculpture that we have discussed in in now in Britain um and they would have originally been painted and this would allow folks on the ground level to see up and to understand the um the stories that were um depicted there let's see here we go so in the interior we see more of the dark columns with the freezes and this encloses the cella which is the space that would have held the um sculpture of Athena so we can see the cella here as well so this is a nice reconstruction of the church carnac is really great um this is um a series of sites that was built over time by a variety of um kings of Egypt and we will enter through uh the main pylons here and the whole temple is meant to reflect the cosmos and the earth itself and so you you see that we enter into a a fairly welllit space we have numerous columns the hypo style hall and they are meant to look like um blooming lotus blossoms and then here on the sides at the top we have the clair stories this allows the light in and we can see the sha the shadows from the clair stories here this is the largest area because this is where the most people would be able to gather at the carac temple and as the um as we move through the temple the spaces become increasingly dark and increasingly more narrow this has to do with the ideas of um where the cult statue it lived which would be the holy of holies at the furthest part of the temple itself and it was only this space that the king and the high priests were admitted access the general public were not allowed to enter into any of the temples because they were not ritually pure so in order to get access to the cult statue and the divine um they had little little areas where um the public could go and whisper their wishes and their prayers to the divine and um that was one way that they could get in touch with the divine or the cult statue was brought out on certain occasions um and um folks could interact with the divine during those processions
