At that time, I viewed designers as the most mysterious and respectful people of the world. As I grew older, my father, who is an architectural designer, took me to his office and introduced to me his actual work every day. I was immersed by the design drawings showed on his computer, thinking that how the buildings and landscapes were designed. This experience firmed my resolution…

The sections we read were part of a larger study by Toby Huitson into the uses and purposes of the upper spaces in Gothic Cathedrals. Throughout the text, he looks at many possible uses for different spaces based on surviving texts and architectural cues. Huitson looks at why we don’t know their specific uses at the time of construction along with what they were used for later on as a possible window into the original intention of the spaces.
