Christchurch Priory by Benjamin Polk

This analysis of Christchurch Priory reveals the development of a single historic ecclesiastical building over nine centuries (1094-1994). It includes a critical assessment of the changes and adaptations carried out between the early Norman innovations. These include Saxo-Norman crypt, Norman nave, transitions between Romanesque and early English Gothic, to Decorated, and Perpendicular Gothic and Renaissance. By studying the process of adaptation and the changing requirements of the building, the author gives a historical picture of this one building.
Tschumi, Bernard: - Bernard Tschumi is Principal of Bernard Tschumi Architects, New York and Paris. He was dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture from 1988 to 2003.
