On Some Aspects of Study on Dimensions and Proportions of Church Architecture

[摘要] Architecture forms and arranges the environment required for a comfortable life and human activity. The modern principles of architectural space arrangement and form making are represented by a reliable system of buildings which are used in design. Architects apply these principles and knowledge of space arrangement in regard to the study of special and regulatory literature when performing a particular creative task. This system of accumulated knowledge is perceived in the form of an existing stereotype with no regard for understanding of the form making and experience inherent to the architects and thinkers of previous ages. We make an attempt to restore this connection as the form-making specific regularities known by ancient architects should be taken into account. The paper gives an insight into some aspects of traditional dimensions and proportions of church architecture.
