DEVELOPMENT OF CATEGORY OF THE EXTERNAL NICHES ON ARMENIAN CHURCHES

Yasuhito Fujita · 2013

Catalogue summary

The paper compares placement, form, masonry, and ornament of external niches on medieval Armenian churches, finding an early structural role in simplifying roofs and walls that gradually converged toward façade decoration after the seventh century.

Why this matters

It supplies a chronological functional account of a distinctive element in Armenian church architecture rather than a purely stylistic catalog.
