Sunday, August 2, 2020 – Annnd…we’re back to the basic primer logs. Today we’ll finish the logs on Church architecture. I believe we covered the horizontal layout a couple of days ago, so that means it is high time for the vertical layout (heh…see what I did there?). Part VIII: inside basic vertical layout Part Read More

Day 137 – Captain’s Log: Basic (Horizontal) Primers on Church Architecture
Friday, July 31, 2020 – Nothing says “Happy Birthday” better than a house full of people praying the Rosary followed by a horde of kiddos running around, hopped up on cupcakes. It really was a spectacular day! I love my Catholic family. And yes, I know I am a day behind in saying that. Sorry. Read More
Day 111 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part XIV)
Sunday, July 5, 2020 – I swear this is going to be the last primer on Church architecture (for now…muahaha!). We have built out the entire building, added some flair here and there, but there is one thing we MUST do…beautify the ceiling. So, today we are going to discuss the Gothic vaulted ceiling. In Read More
Day 110 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part XIII)
Saturday, July 4, 2020 – Yesterday we installed the massive front door for our Church on the West side (because, remember, that is where we keep our Church entrance!). Today we are going to add some bling-bling to the door so people looking at our Church can go, “Ohhhh! Ahhhh! Soooo fancy!” We will be Read More
Day 109 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part XII)
Friday, July 3, 2020 – Today we are going to put on the front door to our Gothic minor Basilica. A lot of the terms for today are ones you have already seen because, let’s face it, Gothic architecture is nothing but lots of pointed arches. There will be a few terms I won’t define Read More
Day 108 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part XI)
Thursday, July 2, 2020 – Okay, back to Church Architecture, specifically the fancy-fancy of Gothic architecture. Today we are going to cover…wait for iiiiiittttt…WINDOWS! Yup, we are going to go over three of the most Gothic-y windows that a Gothic Church can have: the rose window, the oculus window, and the lancet window. And, for Read More
Day 106 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part X)
Tuesday, June 30, 2020 – Today we are going to get extremely technical and discuss the Gothic arch. Not to brag, but Gothic architecture has some pretty sweet physics at play in their doorways and ceilings. Sure, arches and vaulted ceilings have been around for ages, but now we have points! Sharp angels! Sweeping heights! Read More
Day 105 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part IX)
Monday, June 29, 2020 – Oh…my…lanta! We’ve finished 15 weeks. And, it seems we are (almost) at the end of another month. Whew! Time flies! Today we are going to cover the absolute basics of the outside of the vertical cross-section (AKA the vertical layout). Just like yesterday, we are not going to get into Read More
Day 104 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part VIII)
Sunday, June 28, 2020 – Today we are going up, up, up! We are going to start building the inside of our minor Basilica; the vertical cross-section (AKA the vertical layout), if you will. It will just be the basic sections of the vertical layout. You will have to tune in at a later date Read More
Day 103 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part VII)
Saturday, June 27, 2020 – This is going to be the last horizontal build-out for our not-so-tiny Church. Today we are peering behind the rood screen, walking past the choir (the old one!), and sneaking a peek into the sanctuary. We are not going to cover everything in a sanctuary. We are just going to Read More
