The Gothic Structural Revolution 2

Early Christian

Body: 

An Early Christian (Viollet-le-Duc calls it "Roman") wooden-roofed basilica-- perhaps Santa Sabina in Rome. The edifice has slender marble columns and thin walls punctuated with enormous windows. Light-reflective materials (marble, mosaic, silver, gold) contribute to a brilliantly-lit, spatially-unified interior.
