Romanesque Reflections

Justine's blog began with a discussion on the development of the civilization during this time period, which I thought was really important. Schools and monasteries were developed, and at the same time learning and building were being encouraged. She also talked about how the church changed and it began to change more toward how it is today, with large areas for the growing congregation and a space for the choir.

I also looked at Natalie's blog which discussed how the churches and buildings during the Romanesque period used Roman technology. Throughout many time periods Roman building types and styles have remained as the basis for construction. She also stated that the architectural style is similar to what we will see in Medieval Europe, because the Romanesque and Medieval/Gothic style are very similar.
