Emergence of the design studio

› The Bauhaus: preliminary course

Bourges Cathedral

Survey by John Harvey of stone

tracery sketched by masons directly

on to the floor of Bourges Cathedral,

France, in the 12th century. The

term tracery may come from the

‘tracing floors’ on which the complex

patterns of late Gothic windows were

laid out before being lifted into place.

Wren was a particularly skilled collaborator and created

a long-standing and successful working relationship

with several architects in his office, in particular Nicholas

Hawksmoor. Hawksmoor rose from the position of clerk to

architect and worked with Wren on projects such as St Paul’s

Cathedral. He had benefited from, and contributed to,

a design studio that was a place of learning and teaching.
