Quadratic Schematism
Quadratic Schematism or Quadratic Scheme is a term from the history of architecture . He describes a typical floor plan diagram of a basilica of Romanesque church architecture . The square of the crossing is the basic unit of measurement in the diagram . The nave and transept are multiples of these squares, lined up linearly.
This scheme formed the basis of many designs early in the Romanesque era, but was only anchored in the structural system through the use of cross vaults : a yoke of the cross vault is projected onto the floor plan and this square forms the basic module of the scheme. The pillars and yokes of the vault highlight the scheme, especially in the bound system . The size of the aisles can also follow the scheme, their yokes then have, for example, a quarter of the original square size .
