Timeline and building units for Cucharmoy, Sainte-Geneviève A 'building unit' is an arbitrary unit of work based on bulk billing techniques used by quantity surveyors. The unit is small enough to provide realistic figures in the small churches without becoming too huge in the large. Six units would pay for one small vaulted bay in an aisle about 3 metres square, or a small first-floor gallery. Such a bay would consist of an external wall with a small window, half of two columns about 3 meters tall, the floor and footings under them and the vault and roof overhead.

Phases for Cucharmoy, Sainte-Geneviève The building sequence is based on my on-site analysis of the construction history, using the techniques developed on the cathedral of Chartres called toichology, and described in a number of publications. The analysis of some of the smaller churches are more approximate than I would like, and need further analysis. <p>I have used 'phase' rather than 'campaign' to to identify a contiguous zone with similar elements. A campaign would be defined by recognisable breaks and construction joints in the fabric: there may be a number of phases within a campaign. One benefit is that separate programs by subcontractors, such as carvers, may be isolated, which is particularly useful in complex sections, such as portals. <p>Every phase has been assigned to a decade, so there may be more than one phase in a decade. <p>While this is certainly imperfect, it will allow us to explore all the data, including costs, across time. This is an on-going process, so as the data continues to be analyzed, the chronology and costing analysis will be further refined, and the synopsis updated. <p>Clicking on any of the decade graphics will display all buildings that had work being done during that decade.

The building sequence is based on my on-site analysis of the construction history, using the techniques developed on the cathedral of Chartres called toichology, and described in a number of publications.

I have used 'phase' rather than 'campaign' to to identify a contiguous zone with similar elements. A campaign would be defined by recognisable breaks and construction joints in the fabric: there may be a number of phases within a campaign. One benefit is that separate programs by subcontractors, such as carvers, may be isolated, which is particularly useful in complex sections, such as portals.

Every phase has been assigned to a decade, so there may be more than one phase in a decade.

While this is certainly imperfect, it will allow us to explore all the data, including costs, across time. This is an on-going process, so as the data continues to be analyzed, the chronology and costing analysis will be further refined, and the synopsis updated.

1120

Phase 1 - 1120 - w crossing - 8 Units


West crossing arch, only piers remain. Later wall north aisle with two recesses.
1190

Phase 2 - 1190 - n nave - 10 Units


Middle north bay W1 shafts and pointed arch.
1200

Phase 3 - 1200 - WN1 - 15 Units


WN1 arch added over shaft to drum on WN2. Drum itself is not dateable.
1210

Phase 4 - 1210 - east - 48 Units


East two bays with octagonal caps, double windows and vaults with peaked arches; shafts were added over north wall with extension of one bay to the east, with capitals of simple forms in a very hard stone, could be 1180s to 1220s, and since there are octagonal forms I suggest after 1210; the squashed bases also suggest the later date; the aisle vaults heavier than those in the apse.
