Abstract | It has been decades since Erwin Panofsky's Gothic Architecture and Scholastisicm asked us to consider the connections between the medieval university system and the building of cathedrals. While we do not explicitly wish to start where Panofsky ended or the ensuing controversy stands, we wish to join the discussion with other facets of the reationship between natural philosophy and science and architecture. |
