What reading level is How to Judge Architecture : a Popular Guide to the Appreciation of Buildings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
FAN VAULTING OF CHOIR AISLE.
PLATE XXXIV.
Digitized by VjOOQ IC English Florid Grothic and Fan-Vaulting ments of this "fan-vaulting" are iSt.
Qeorge's Chapel at Windsor Castle, the Chapel of Henry VII, attached to West- minster Abbey in London, and chief and noblest of all. Kings College Chapel at Cambridge. This last may well be thought the finest interior in England ; and the other examples mentioned are inferior in charm : and yet, since the Cambridge Chapel has been shown in photography ver...y often, it has seemed better to consider here less- known examples. The vault is a perfectly safe building, especially on a small scale, but it is not rib-vaulting. When, however, the great vault of Henry the Seventh's Chapel at Westminster Abbey was under- taken, about 1515, a different system had to be followed. The span or clear width of the nave is not very great and yet the task of supporting the astonishing stone roof, seen in Plate XXXV, was one worthy of the shrewdest and most daring builder of the time.
