This project will investigate to what degree the physical structure of the extant fabric has a determining effect on the form of the later medieval addition through the development of multi-dimensional dynamic models for a series of case studies. This archaeological information will then be integrated into consideration of issues of contemporary culture such as program, patronage and external stylistic influences to create a holistic study of the design process for each case study. Thus, the project will develop a new mode of analysis through the application of technology to a key question frequently raised in the scholarly literature but never fully addressed. It will also provide a prototype for similar analysis for other medieval sites as well as the architecture of other times and places. It will begin with a case study of Southwell Minster to explore the feasibility and utility of this type of modeling for the study of medieval architecture... EMA will explore the extent to which..
