Reflection. A film about time and relatedness - ACE061.8

Chartres Cathedral at dawn; Chartres and Stonehenge "are linked to the universal principles of geometry". Exterior; details of stone carving, windows. The symbolism of some of the design features; model representation shows how the maze and the rose window above it exactly reflect each other, and how height and length of different features are related to each other and to solar and lunar cycles. Representation of moon at top of shorter tower. La Belle Verriere (The Virgin in Majesty) window which pre-dates most of the rest of the building, and is likely to have been the basis for its proportions; diagram, which finds the maze under the Child’s feet.
