“The Scattered Limbs of the Giant”
Recollecting Medieval Architectural Revivals
The history of taste is a history of ways of seeing. This critical review reveals how successive generations valued their medieval legacies and their revivals. The template of our current understanding of medieval and revival architecture was formed when the medieval was first being resurrected, and this double birth continues to inform contemporary architectural style and theory. Modern and Postmodern architecture depends on Romanesque and neo‐Romanesque spatial achievements, bold masonry work, and architectonic mural surfaces. The medieval church has become part of the collective typology of the holy, an avatar of spiritual haven. As quintessential architectural icons of Christianity, neo‐medieval styles embodied the religious cradle and matrix of safety, childhood, nourishment, and peace in modern revivalist and contemporary memory. This architectural locus of the divine incorporated the first and final anchor, the portal to life and death.
