Remove a flying buttress and the whole structure springs upward. That’s not just stone—it’s a unified harmonic field. This is sacred engineering—geometry as force, as vibration, as intention. | The Randall Carlson | Facebook

You see the stone. But you miss the masterpiece. Gothic cathedrals? They wouldn’t exist without genius carpentry—formwork, scaffolding, precision geometry. The vaults, arches, and steeples? All made possible by woodwork… that vanished once the stone was set. The real mystery isn’t just in the masonry—it’s what supported it. | The Randall Carlson
