Romanesque style developed in medieval Europe between the 6th-12th centuries and was characterized by semi-circular arches. Durham Cathedral, built between 1093-1133, is an important example of Romanesque architecture known for innovations like rib vaulting. Its pointed arches allowed greater height and width over previous semi-circular styles. Other features include thick walls, barrel vaults, arcades supported by cylindrical and compound piers, and three towers up to 218 feet tall.
Comparison studies between Romanesque and Gothic architectureNoorul Mushfika
Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque style, with proposals ranging from the 6th to the 11th century, this later date being the most commonly held. While, gothic architecture is an architectural style that was particularly popular in Europe from the late 12th century to the 16th century, during the High and Late Middle Ages, surviving into the 17th and 18th centuries in some areas. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture.

“ Rebirth”
Revival of artistic achievements based on classical world.
‘Rebirth’ of classical Greek and Roman. The movement started in Italy.
During this era, people began to research the culture of the antique world.
The period was triggered by the increasing sophistication of the society, where economic growth, educational pursuits and political stability were key factors.
The limits of renaissance architecture was pushed by wealthy patrons such as Medic family of Florence, Pope Leo X and Pope Julius II
Characteristics
Building was looked upon as works of art. It followed traditions of middle ages that did not separate the structure from the decoration.
In situ construction hence harmony was given between the jointing and the architectural features.
Standardization of classic roman orders- Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian & Composite and its reintroduction both structurally and decoratively.
An art of free expression : Architecture became to a great extent a personal art due to the fancy of individual architects, many of whom founded schools of design.
A building was regarded rather as a picture with pleasing combinations of lines and masses
Symmetry and proportion
Appearance of building less in size than in reality due to the largeness and fewness of the parts used.

Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque style, with proposals ranging from the 6th to the 11th century, this later date being the most commonly held. In the 12th century it developed into the Gothic style, marked by pointed arches. Examples of Romanesque architecture can be found across the continent, making it the first pan-European architectural style since Imperial Roman architecture. The Romanesque style in England is traditionally referred to as Norman architecture.
Combining features of ancient Roman and Byzantine buildings and other local traditions, Romanesque architecture is known by its massive quality, thick walls, round arches, sturdy pillars, barrel vaults, large towers and decorative arcading. Each building has clearly defined forms, frequently of very regular, symmetrical plan; the overall appearance is one of simplicity when compared with the Gothic buildings that were to follow. The style can be identified right across Europe, despite regional characteristics and different materials.
Many castles were built during this period, but they are greatly outnumbered by churches. The most significant are the great abbey churches, many of which are still standing, more or less complete and frequently in use.[1] The enormous quantity of churches built in the Romanesque period was succeeded by the still busier period of Gothic architecture, which partly or entirely rebuilt most Romanesque churches in prosperous areas like England and Portugal. The largest groups of Romanesque survivors are in areas that were less prosperous in subsequent periods, including parts of southern France, rural Spain and rural Italy. Survivals of unfortified Romanesque secular houses and palaces, and the domestic quarters of monasteries are far rarer, but these used and adapted the features found in church buildings, on a domestic scale.
This is presentation contain wast information about Romanesque Architecture, their characteristics features and special structure.
Romanesque Architecture is the architecture of medieval period and expand to the entire Europe almost.
In this presentation all the important and rare point is covered.
Characteristics Features:
1. Wall
2. Arch
3. Column
4. Piers
5. Arcade
6. Vault
and the special structures that are considered in the following presentation are:
1. Baptistery
2. Cloister
3. Porches
4. Crypts
Rose windows and plate tracery were also used during this period.
Fully carved columns and piers were main characteristics and specialists of Romanesque Architecture.
The term Romanesque ("Roman-like") was first used to designate a style of architecture that used Roman arches and had thick, heavy walls, based upon the basilica. The style is pervasive throughout Europe.
ROMANESQUE ARCHITECTURE
Decline of Roman Empire lead to building of large churches called cathedrals in a big way with the spread of organized monasteries called order.
Monastic orders include orders such as the Benedictine order (teachers), Augustinian order (preachers), the Cistercian order (farmers), the Clunaic order (artists), and Carthusian order (Ascetics).
The monks used a simplified Roman style with thick load bearing walls stout columns, small window openings and semi circular arches that came to be known as the “Romanesque” style.
Expansion of Romanesque architecture was linked with pilgrimage to Santiago, expansion of orders, crusades and development of feudal system.
The style can be discovered throughout Europe with its regional variations.
CHARACTERISTICS
Harmonious proportions
Thick and heavy walls and pillars
Small windows
Round arches supporting the roof.
Round blind arches for decoration
Sculptured decorations on portals, capitals and other surfaces.
Painted decorations
Plan: Retains basic plan of Early Christian Basilica ( Long three aisled nave intercepted by a transept and terminating in a semicircular apse crowned by a half dome ).
Support arches are the combination of half segments of large hollow columns or a clustered group of small shafts.
Cruciform in shape masonry and square or rectangle in section.
Barrel Vault:
The simplest type of vaulted roof
Single arched surfaces extend from wall to wall, the length of the space to be vaulted.
Barrel Vault requires strong support from solid walls.
Groin Vault: Intersection of two barrel vaults at right angles.
Ribbed Vault: In a ribbed vault, not only are the ribs spanning the vaulted area transversely but each vaulted bay has diagonal ribs.
Pointed arch Vault:
In Late Romanesque period, another solution came into use from regulating the height of diagonal and traverse ribs.
Salvaged Columns
In Italy, during this period, a great number of antique Roman columns were salvaged and reused in the interiors and on the porticos of churches.
The marble columns are most durable and have stone horizontally bedded.
Majority are vertically bedded and are sometimes of a variety of colors.
They have retained the original roman capitals, of the Corinthian or Roman Composite style.
Salvaged columns
Drum Columns
Hollow core columns
Alteration of piers and columns.
Building materials
Brick – Italy, Poland , much Germany and parts of the Netherland.
Limestone, granite – other areas
Building stone – small and irregular pieces, bedded in thick mortar.
Architectonical Typology - Church, Monastery, Castle.
Italian Romanesque - Pisa complex
French Romanesque -Abbey aux Hommes
English Romanesque - White tower
EVOLUTION OF ROMANESQUE TO GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE
Gothic architecture
General characteristics :
Focus on Verticality
Airy and Bright – Use of large stained glass windows, Rose window.
Ornamentation – Gargoyles, Pinnacle, Intricate carvings, 3 parts –Arcade, Triforium and Clerestorey.
Pointed Arches :
Pointed arches replaced semicircular arches as:-
Focus was on verticality, to create great height.
Strength and stability of pointed arches. Exert less thrust than semi circular arches of same span.
Pointed arches creates a lighter sensation.
Solves geometrical difficulties inherent in ribbed vaults. It is impossible to align the semicircular arches to a common point in rib vaulting. Pointed arches could be leveled easily.
Vaulting system: Rib Vault
Organic metaphor of ribs in a body , which support tissue.
In ribbed vault, not only are the ribs spanning vaulted area traversely but each vaulted bay has diagonal ribs.
In a ribbed vault, the ribs are structural members and the spaces between them are filled with lighter, non structural materials.
Flying Buttress was used in order to avoid outward collapse of arches.
Freestanding brick or stone supports were attached to the exterior walls by an arch or half-arch.
The arches are supported by colossal freestanding piers.
It absorbs and channels the disruptive forces, such as wind and weight, safely to the ground.
These piers were erected with towers without effecting the nave and choir interior.
Pinnacle is an architectural ornament originally forming the cap of a buttress.
The stained glass windows brought in light and visual beauty to the interiors.
Predominantly colors like red and blue was used to represent the religious stories in stained glass windows. Of this the blue symbolizes the heaven and the red represents the blood of Christ.
Rose window is a circular window which is divided into segments by stone mullions and tracery.
A gargoyle is a waterspout, usually carved to resemble an odd or monstrous creature, that protrudes from a structure's wall or roofline.
French Gothic -Notre Dame Cathedral
English Gothic -Westminster Abbey, Hampton Court Palace
Italian Gothic -Doges Palace, Venice, Milan Cathedral

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Romanesque style
Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterised by semi-circular
arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque style, with proposals ranging
from the 6th to the late 10th century, this later date being the most commonly held. It developed in the
12th century into the Gothic style, marked by pointed arches.
Combining features of ancient Roman and
Byzantine buildings and other local traditions,
Romanesque architecture is known by its
massive quality, thick walls, round arches,
sturdy pillars, groin vaults, large towers and
decorative arcading.
3. ! Due to collapse of Roman Empire, Romanesque Architecture developed in Western
Europe.
! This is the direct modification of Roman Architecture.
! This style developed in Italy, France, Germany, Central Europe, Spain and Britain.
Formation And Development
Geographical Conditions
! This style had its building materials like stone, brick, marble, ready made columns or
other remains from ruins of roman buildings.
! Materials were available from Italy and France
Geological Conditions
4. ! There were huge variations in the climate of Italy, France and England.
! Climate of north being dull, large window openings were provided to allow sufficient
sunlight, whereas south being hot, small windows were kept to cut off dazzling sunlight.
! Due to less rainfall in the south part, roofs were flat, whereas in north high pitched roofs
were provided to drain out water and snow.
Formation And Development
Climatic Conditions
Historical Condition
! From the fall of Roman Empire to the period of Charlemagne, many churches were
constructed.
! He encouraged artists & craftsmen and restored art & civilization in west Europe.
! For the next two centuries, architecture made little progress with slight changes.
5. Romanesque architects built a wide variety of different buildings, of which the most common were:
village churches, abbey churches, cathedrals and castles. The most important were the great abbey
churches, many of which are in use. Typical characteristics of Romanesque architecture include:
• Semi-circular Arches
Most arches were semi-circular although a few buildings (Autun Cathedral, France; Monreale
Cathedral, Sicily) have pointed arches. Narrow windows/doors might be topped by a stone lintel.
Larger openings were nearly always arched.
• Thick Walls
These massive supporting walls had few and comparatively small openings and almost eliminated
the need for buttresses.
Construction techniques
6. Arcades
These were a particularly popular feature. Note: an arcade consists of a row of arches,
supported on either columns or piers. Columns were either drum columns (if small) or hollow
core (if large). Piers were typically built out of masonry and were either square or rectangular.
Capitals on columns were usually of the foliate Corinthian style.
• Roofs
These were made from wood, then stone. Vaulted roofs generally featured barrel-vaults and
groin vaults made of stone or brick. Eventually, these evolved into the pointed ribbed arch used
in Gothic architecture.
• Towers
These were a regular feature of Romanesque churches. Types included: square, circular and
octagonal towers.
8. Architectural Terms
Choir - A choir, also sometimes spelled quire, is the area of a church
or cathedral that provides seating for the clergy and church choir.
Altar - It is any structure upon which offerings such as sacrifices
and worship are made for religious purposes. Altars are usually
found at shrines, and they can be located in temples, churches and
other places of worship.
Nave - the nave is the main body of the church. It provides the
central approach to the high altar.
9. Introduction
• Durham Cathedral is a Norman building
constructed between 1093 - 1133 in the
Romanesque style.
• It was founded as a monastic cathedral
built to house the shrine of St Cuthbert,
replacing an earlier church constructed in
his honour.
Architectural Features
• It is important for its architectural
features, specifically, its rib vaulting
(the first of its kind in England), its
pointed arches, and its high standard
of masonry.
10. • Durham is built with a three storey elevation,
comprising an arcade, gallery and clerestory.
• The main arches, which are supported alternately
on cylindrical (minor) and compound
(major) piers, have their soffits (under surfaces)
decorated with roll mouldings.
• The minor cylindrical piers are furnished with
incised decoration—spiral patterns, zig-zags,
losenges and flutes.
• The gallery opens to the nave through a sub-
divided arch. Single round headed windows
provide illumination at clerestory level.
• The nave vault of Durham Cathedral is the most significant architectural element of the
Durham World Heritage Site because it marks a turning point in the history of
architecture. The pointed arch was successfully used as a structural element for the first
time here in this building. Semi-circular arches were the type used prior to the adoption of
the structural pointed arch — the limitations of which is that their height must
be proportionate to their width.
The nave vault and arches of Durham Cathedral. Pointed
arches (indicated by the grey arrow) replaced semi-circular
arches (indicated by the yellow arrow), allowing for greater
height and width.
11. Architectural Detail
• Length- 469 feet (143 m) (interior)
• Nave width- 81 feet (25 m) (inc aisles)
• Nave height- 73 feet (22 m)
• Choir height- 74 feet (23 m)
• Number of towers- 3
• Tower height- 218 feet (66 m) (central tower)
144 feet (44 m) (western towers)
12. Plan of the Cathedral
The building takes the form of a Latin cross, centred on the four great piers of the crossing. The
choir extended four bays to the east and originally terminated with a short bay which lead into a
semicircular apse (some remains of which were recovered in nineteenth-century excavations).
Choir
Nave
PLAN
The aisles also terminated in
apses and these were encased
with rectangular outer walls.
The transepts, which extend
north and south for four bays,
are furnished with an aisle on the eastern
side. Stair turrets project at the
north-west and south-west angles.
The aisled nave is eight bays long, and
terminates at the west in two towers.
Throughout the building there is an
alternating system of major and minor
piers.
14. • In comparison with the nave of Gloucester,
which also has heavy round columns
carrying the arcades, Durham, in the
manner of Speyer, introduces the idea of
attached half- columns that guide the eye
to the ceiling.
• A basic principle of Norman building was
the reduction of solid walls to a thick but
open skeleton of arches. The arches were not
just interruptions in the wall but were
defined in a regularised way, with
surrounds framed by attached half-
columns and horizontal string courses.
15. The decoration of the columns, with its
zigzag and chevron motifs, also made
extensive use of color, specifically black and
red, which was an influence from Islamic
architecture that came to the country
through the Crusades and the Norman-
Arab connections in Sicily and northern
Africa
16. The building does not have buttresses and
so appears from the outside quite boxy,
unlike later Norman cathedrals, such as
Canterbury Cathedral, where buttresses
contribute to a vertical articulation
