Timeline and building units for Ferrières-en-Brie, Saint-Remi 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 Ferrières-en-Brie, Saint-Remi 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.

Earlier

Phase 1 - Earlier


Something occupied the space on either side of the apse, leading to many of the axial anomalies and the confused erection schedule in the east.
1200

Phase 2 - 1200 [1200] - east (a) - 25 Units


East bases over sloping floor; both chapels added while other walls only partly up, each with different vertical dimensions so that as triforium was being built in the east the aisles were being built in the west, all in many medium-sized campaigns, with the carving suggesting that one master in particular had worked here on a number of occasions.

1210

Phase 3 - 1210 - west (a) - 57 Units


Western aisle capitals, middle triforium after a pause and in a number of small campaigns.
1220

Phase 4 - 1220 [1220] - nave (c,v) - 30 Units


West three bays of the triforium, and west wall and high vaults; the rose is recent.
