| Summary: | Although there are many studies about the Gothic architecture, we still don’t know many aspects of the overall design of the building.

Particularly, the study of an Andalusian church detects a pragmatic modus operandi, linked to the construction process, and perhaps often used at the time. The building´s ground-plans and elevations were designed using orthogonal grids, simple geometric tracings and the same metrical pattern for all the work. |
