triforium

Examples of triforium in the following topics:

• Gothic Architecture: The Abbey Church of Saint Denis

  • Solid masonry was replaced with vast window openings filled with brilliant stained glass and interrupted only by the most slender of bar tracery—not only in the clerestory but also, perhaps for the first time, in the normally dark triforium level.

• Romanesque Architecture: The Church of Saint-Lazare

  • The nave elevation is composed of three levels: grand arcade, triforium, and clerestory, each marked by a cornice.

• Norse Timber Architecture in the Early European Middle Ages

  • These churches had cross braces joining upper and lower string beams and posts that formed a very rigid interconnection, resembling the triforium of stone basilicas.

• Norman Stained Glass

  • View of the north elevation of the choir from the south aisle, showing the triforium and clerestory windows.
