notions/ideas of balance/equilibrium and solid foundations Explanation: architectural term ASSISE can't find English equivalent, maybe stratifications or just masonry assise sf Chaque lit de pierre, de moellon ou de brique, prend, dans une construction, le nom d'assise. The height of the foundation varies in the mediaeval buildings because of the quality of materials which could have constructors. La hauteur des assises varie dans les édifices du moyen âge en raison de la qualité des matériaux dont pouvaient disposer les constructeurs. Everyone knows that occur in limestone soil, with benches arranged more or less thick. Chacun sait que les pierres calcaires se rencontrent sous le sol, disposées par bancs plus ou moins épais. The architects of the Middle Ages had the good sense to modify their construction due to the natural height of these benches. Les architectes du moyen âge avaient le bon esprit de modifier leur construction en raison de la hauteur naturelle de ces bancs. They thus avoided the waste of stone that are so expensive now that you submit the claims to some form of stone architecture often disagree with the height of natural stone benches. Ils évitaient ainsi ces déchets de pierre qui sont si onéreux, aujourd'hui que l'on prétend soumettre la pierre à une forme d'architecture souvent en désaccord avec la hauteur des bancs naturels des pierres. Manufacturers prior to the renaissance did not know the timber that can charge a limestone bed in a more or fewer seats. Les constructeurs antérieurs à l'époque de la renaissance ne connaissaient pas les sciages qui permettent de débiter un banc calcaire en un plus ou moins grand nombre d'assises. The stone was used as the gave careers, so the natural height of the foundation did a considerable influence on the shape of the architecture of the buildings of the same era (see: Construction ). La pierre était employée telle que la donnaient les carrières; aussi la hauteur naturelle des assises at-elle une influence considérable sur la forme de l'architecture des édifices d'une même époque (voy. Construction ). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2010-11-02 21:27:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry, part of google translation mixed in here -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day4 hrs (2010-11-04 01:05:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- just had another look at all possibilities and thinking perhaps "layering" might get the stratification aspect of assises and also be part of haute couture???
