On the immutability of Byzantine Architecture
Abstract
In this article is discussed briefly and under a theoretical frame the viewpoint about the immutability of Byzantine architecture. The means to explore the architectural creation is set by a conventional division into three major periods. In each of the period several architectural examples are explored since they underpin the evolutionary process and the continuous changes that the Byzantine architecture was undergoing. It should also be marked that the decorative programme had always been considered as an integral part of the architectural layout. The author concludes that the principal and immutable characteristic related to the Byzantine architecture was the concept and notion that the church was a microcosmic representation of the world.
