Journey Through Alsatian Architecture 2026: Collégiale Saint-Martin, Colmar
These transverse sections were drawn in a single day, on site, by the students of the programme. They spent the day inside and around the Collégiale, observing, analysing, measuring and drawing the parts of the structure they could actually see.
The roof structures were hidden from view, so the students worked them out by reasoning from the walls, vaults and buttresses. There are surely mistakes here and there, but that’s part of learning to read a building.
Swipe through to see each student’s take on the same building!
