Medieval Synthesis Asher Period 2 Team 2

Like in research question number nine stated, many numbers of peasant class apprenticed out to a craftsman apprentices during the medieval period. Many portions of the apprentices went to architectural area to build houses, buildings and many more. From Greek/Roman era, buildings were usually built with stones and took many days to build a building. But during the medieval period, material to build a building has changed to wood. Medieval era continued to have the wood structured buildings as the Anglo-Saxons did. One of the reasons that this era chose to build building was that it was very hard to find an architect and workers who used stone. Two other advantages of using wood structure were that it was cheap and the quality was a surplus. The growth in demand of wood structures, people put in varieties of art work into the wood pieces. Art works such as patterns or shapes were drawn on the wood to express their era’s beauty and culture. Interior designs were important as well. During this era, city hall interiors were designed from bottom to top. In the city hall, the lower part of walls is covered with wainscots and the upper parts are decorated by the paintings. The ease of curving and shaping patterns on wood attracted to have many architects than during the Greek/Roman era. The beauty of making a building with wood comes from more detailed patterns than from the stone. The rapidity of building a house with wood element made quick and easy which meant more money and smoother economic flow. This medieval art made the future to develop more patterns on architect designs.
