Prompt Five

The prompt that I decided to use was the Salisbury, Amiens time: affects building practices and the cohesion of each cathedral. The Salisbury cathedral was built over a thirty eight time span making it nearly two generations. It consisted of a single generation of continuous building. The cathedral was used only as a cathedral and that is because of the time period that it was built. The Aimen's cathedral was built before the city that now surrounds it was built. The cathedral was the focal point of the town and was used for many different occasions. The time period in which these two buildings were built shows you the different uses of the cathedrals.
