Spire | it’s… What is the Spire?

This term has other meanings, see Spire (meanings).

Spire in the city of Lübeck

Spire is a vertical and pointed completion of buildings in the form of a strongly elongated cone or pyramid. Often the spire is surmounted by a flag, carving, weather vane, emblem, or sculpture.

More squat and wide at the base pyramidal tops of buildings are usually called tents, although in some cases the line between these terms is blurred.

Spiers in Gothic architecture

Spiers were widespread in the architecture of Gothic cathedrals, reflecting the general desire of that time to increase the height of temples. On the one hand, high spiers made the cathedral more visible from afar, on the other hand, they symbolized the aspiration upward, towards God. Spiers most often completed the bell towers of cathedrals, crowned the crossroads. In the first case, as a rule, they were built of stone, thereby blocking the interior of the bell tower. The spiers above the crossroads and other decorative spiers could have been a lighter frame structure.

Among the highest Gothic spiers are the spire of the north tower of Chartres Cathedral (113 m.), the spiers of Salisbury Cathedral (123 m.) and Strasbourg Cathedral (142 m.). The spiers of Rouen Cathedral and Cologne Cathedral are distinguished by a significant height (over 150 m), but they were built on top of these temples only in the second half of the 19th century.

Small spiers crowning pinnacles are also called phials. They were decorated with cruciferous flowers (decorative tops in the form of a blossoming flower bud with petals arranged crosswise) and crabs.

• Spiers of Chartres Cathedral

• Spiers of the Cathedral of Clermont-Ferrand

• The interior of one of the spiers of the cathedral in Clermont-Ferrand

• Spire of Strasbourg Cathedral

• Spire above the crossroads of the cathedral in Amiens

• Spire above the crossroads of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, according to Viollet-le-Duc (external view, structural elements)

• Vials over the pinnacles of the Cathedral of Nevers

Spiers of skyscrapers

Already among the first skyscrapers, many were crowned with spiers. The Wrigley Building (1921) in Chicago, 40 Wall Street, the Chrysler Building (both 1930) and the Empire State Building (1931) in New York have a spire-like completion. In addition to their decorative value, spiers have played a role in the race for height records. So, the 38-meter spire of the Chrysler Building was added by architect William van Elen in order to make the building the tallest building in the world, bypassing the building of Wall Street, 40, built almost at the same time. Subsequently, many skyscrapers were crowned with spiers, as well as similar antennas and masts. The Council for Tall Buildings and the Urban Environment, in determining the tallest buildings, is guided by the so-called constructive height, which includes spiers, but excludes antennas, masts, flagpoles. This counting order is perceived by many as ambiguous, since the line between terms is not always easy to draw.

Modern skyscrapers such as the Petronas Towers and the tallest building in the world, the Burj Dubai, have spire-like ends.

Famous spiers of Moscow

The first spiers in Moscow crowned temples and bell towers in baroque and classicism styles. The spire of the Menshikov Tower stood out with a significant height (30 meters), but in 1723 it burned down from a lightning strike and was never restored. Many temple buildings of that era, for example, the bell tower of the temple in the Kuskovo estate, have retained their spiers.

The spire of the Northern River Station is interesting for its constructive solution. As conceived by the creators, with the beginning of the navigation season, together with the star crowning it, it should move to full height, and at the end of it, move down. However, the station spire was lowered only a few times; it is currently in the upper position all year round.

In Moscow, the most famous buildings with spiers are Stalin skyscrapers. Interestingly, the largest of them, the Main Building of Moscow State University, according to the original design, did not have a spire and was supposed to be crowned with a statue of M. V. Lomonosov, but Stalin insisted that it should also be completed with a spire. Spiers similar to Stalin’s skyscrapers were also given to other buildings of that time, for example, the Beijing Hotel, the central pavilion of VDNKh, etc. Although the wide spiers of Stalin’s skyscrapers are more suitable for the definition of a «tent», traditionally they continue to be called spiers.

The highest spire in Moscow is still the spire of the Ostankino Tower, reaching a height of 540 meters. The highest spire crowning a residential building, as of 2008, is the spire of the Triumph Palace, which until 2007 was the tallest residential building in Europe. The spire on the Triumph Palace has a height of 49.5 meters, and the height of the entire building with the spire is 264.5 meters. Currently, the construction of the spire is underway within the framework of the Federation complex MIBC «Moscow-City». The design mark of the top of the observation elevator tower spire is 509meters, which is comparable to the height of the Ostankino tower.

In the meantime…

And now, when all sorts of snobbery is eliminated, we can talk normally.

It was written, as I understand it, in an absolutely typical style for Golding: a drawn-out language, a lot of trifles and details; the number of characters and images per line of text just rolls over! The plot is similar to archery: a long, long, long pull of the string — a click — and a quick, swift flight of an arrow that inevitably hits the target in the bull’s-eye.

The whole book went to only one ending — to the fall of the spire. Everything spoke for it. But if that had happened, then the book would hardly have taken such a high place in the hearts of readers — after all, it would have been absolutely obvious.
No, Golding’s ending is much more graceful, much more refined. It was this ending that was able to turn the whole book into a single whole — into that very pattern of prayer, with a spire of culmination and pure insight, reaching high into the sky.

A lot has been covered in this book. A huge number of questions have been openly and posed and attempts have been made to answer them. What is a person? Can a person be sure of his choice? What is a sacrifice, a feat, a delusion, an insight, a dream? Did the abbot have a dream? Or maybe his dream is a quiet family happiness with Goody Pengall? Can any goal cost a human life? Does life make sense without happiness? Who has the right to accuse and condemn? Who can be a judge? Here Jocelyn sacrificed everything for the sake of his idea — but was there any point in this? His aunt answered this question unequivocally… Who bears responsibility ? How to distinguish between the angels and demons of your soul? And in the end, the main question of the book is the problem of choice .

Jocelyn lost everything. He did not cope with the assigned (self-imposed) task (although … after all, the spire stands — stands to this day, drawing views to itself, and hearts to the Lord). By sacrificing everything, he gained nothing but… or maybe… maybe all this was really not in vain? And precisely for the sake of this, for the sake of insight , did he do all this? Maybe his actions 9Is 0201 really led by an angel?
Who knows. ..

So what do we have in the end? And we have an amazing combination of language, style, meaning, plot and pleasure from reading. This is probably one of the best books I’ve ever read in my life. Masterpiece! Masterpiece! Wildly recommend reading, for example.

How hard it is to talk about Golding. The problem is that he is a «professional» writer, if one can even call it that. He writes all his works exclusively with reason and according to a certain calculation, even if they give the impression of a riot of emotions. I can still see him, bending over the plan of the work, clearly reconciling the options for reading and interpreting, constituting a riddle, akin to mathematical puzzles over which the reader must struggle. And this problem is solved in each work in an interesting way: «An infinite number of solutions, choose the one that is convenient for you. » Does he manage to overcome the threshold that Umberto Eco spoke about in «Notes to the Name of the Rose» — when the work, together with the reader, gives rise to completely viable interpretations, which the author had no idea about, did not even think of laying (I now I don’t mean any stupidity that any fool can blurt out or see in a work, but an opinion supported by evidence)? Maybe it succeeds. For all his love of interpreting his own works in public, Golding talks about «Spire» more external data — how he worked, what he used and what not — rather than «internal».

First things first, whatever one may say, we have to talk about the symbol of the spire itself. If only because this complex mixture of genres also implies a Gothic novel that is quite classical in form, and in Gothic architecture has always been the same full-fledged character as people. What’s the first thing that comes to mind for perverts like me? That’s right, phallus . Quite in vain they reject this interpretation of the image of the spire as too primitive — simple does not always mean wrong. Definitely, there are phallic features in the image, given Jocelyn’s constantly suppressed libido, and also the eternal boyish desire that he had «more than anyone else». A penis 400 feet long — what else do men want, if not this? Well, if not a member, but at least something more than others. Spire as symbol pride Jocelyn. He claims that he was «sick» of her in his younger years, but it is quite obvious that pride is present in his behavior even now. It’s funny: pride in the environment of religious values. My humility is more humble than yours! Joslin himself modestly claims that this is just the biggest prayer (no, no, no pride, you understand, it’s just the biggest ). It seems that for him this spire is not just a bridge to God, to heaven (the higher, the closer!), but a whole antenna , which should send a very specific message to God: «Oh, how I pray to you, please dispel my doubts about your existence!» And, of course, pride plus the desire to get closer to God give us the image of the Tower of Babel . I don’t know how it is with the mixing of languages, but the general chaos and confusion around the spire is gradually increasing. Jocelyn, climbing to a height, feels like a god, remember at least how he can see from there all the sins of ordinary people: someone dilutes milk, someone is lying drunk in a ditch, and someone sat down in a toilet with an open door. ship mast . The cathedral is definitely floating, because under it there is some kind of slush and a swamp instead of a foundation, the spire sticks out, and Jocelyn, therefore, is a wise helmsman, on which the course of the ship depends.

Okay, enough about this needle to heaven. The protagonist is the «mad Jocelyn», who is only insane in the intensity of his duality and doubt. He himself claims that it is not he at all who is insane, but God, who requires such follies from his people, such as the erection of a spire. And indeed, how can one not recall the parable of Abraham and Isaac? The only trouble is that Abraham did not doubt a bit, but Jocelyn still has doubts. But what about the nonsense of his vision? Well, how are his angel’s hooves? Well, how is it not God who wants this at all, but his pride? After all, then all four victims — one for each support — are completely in vain. But the more he convinces himself and those around him, the more he has to scourge himself, the more doubt. But the worst thing is that this is also possible: all human deeds, even those that are done with good intentions and for the glory of the Lord, are inherently dual. And angels have hooves. And the spire, which so unambiguously stretches to the divine heavens, is located above a smelly and deep pit, which, in turn, stretches in the same way, only to the underworld. Will Jocelyn finally put aside her doubts? No. And this uncertainty is more terrible than if he realized that he was wrong and accepted his sins. Four victims, four forces that crush Jocelyn and the cathedral to the ground, bending stone pillars, breaking the spine.

The theme of the duality of is implemented in the novel in a very interesting way . Jocelyn’s first doppelgänger is Roger. It would seem that Jocelyn infected him with his madness and passion, but no, this devil sat in Roger from the very beginning. And it seems that he is not such a spiritual person as Jocelyn, to be terribly tormented, and the ending of the novel shows that these torments do not at all depend on the ratio of spiritual and material in a person. It is curious how the opposition of Jocelyn and Roger’s attitude to religion is shown through their attitude to the height of the cathedral. Jocelyn climbs to the top and rejoices like a child, feels unusual, spiritualized, as if lifted by prayers into some other ephemeral space. It is the same with her faith, she carries it (although sometimes it can hit the ground painfully). And Roger is obviously afraid of heights … Despite the fact that she has become a daily routine for him. The unknown height frightens him, but still he stubbornly climbs day after day. Like every ordinary person, who is frightened by the vastness and unknowability of God, but he clings to the material manifestations of rituals and acquires much greater stability than fluttering Jocelyn. Jocelyn also acquires a double in her images — first the stone heads created by the mute, in which he refuses to recognize himself, and then the reflection in the building mirror of light, which most definitely terrifies Jocelin.

I am also very impressed by the secondary characters, or rather, their portrayal. The novel is written in third person, but we see them through Jocelyn’s eyes. The mute is glorious, the father is Faceless, instead of women there are two cloudy images-spots, one of which chats endlessly, and the second just flickers and shakes his red hair. Unpossessed people are not that important to Jocelyn, so he does not pay close attention to them. Extras, bots, fragments. The attitude to time is exactly the same — he does not notice it, and we, together with him, cannot in any way catch how much time has passed since the construction of the cathedral began. It is clear that there are many.

What is the result? Jocelyn himself becomes a cathedral, almost on a physical level. His back bends along with the supports, in his head the same noise and dust as inside the room. The ending doesn’t come as a surprise, but it shouldn’t be the climax. Just a logical conclusion, dead end.

The first time to read «The Spire» is quite difficult, such a dense and unusually structured text, although fans of the gothic novel will easily master it. Another thing is that the semantic content is not at all like that of a Gothic novel, therefore, the ease in overcoming the language does not at all mean the ease of understanding. Only one and a half hundred pages, but how many topics Golding gives for meditation … For meditation — because, of course, he does not give a clear answer to the main questions, leaving the reader the right to make his own choice.

A photo under the cut…

A photo of Salisbury Cathedral, next to which Golding lived, which inspired him to the image of the cathedral from The Spire… Despite the fact that Golding deliberately emphasized that this is not a real cathedral, but a fictional one. «I deliberately threw off a couple of transverse naves from the cathedral in Salisbury, so that it can be said with certainty that this was not written about him.» © «Conversations with Jack Biles» W.

An extremely strange book. She’s not just weird, she’s… uncomfortable. It seems that the meaning lies on the surface — but no, it slips away, damn it. Well, this book can’t be that simple!..

This is my introduction to William Golding . I understand that it would be better to take the cult «Lord of the Flies», I planned for a long time, but in the end I found myself reading «The Spire» . Already at the beginning, Golding’s novel tries to alienate the casual reader: there are mournful descriptions, and the lack of exposition, so understand it as you like, and the complex motives of the protagonist … From time to time you catch yourself thinking that you stopped following what is happening, lost the thread of thoughts or you don’t understand how the character ended up in this location. No other book has made me think about «clip thinking» as much as this one. I felt like a victim of modern technology, which supposedly makes it impossible for us to hold our attention for more than five to ten minutes. The plot is simplistic, so simple that it’s unbelievable. Rector of the temple Joslin once had a «divine vision» from which he learned that he was to erect a huge tower with a spire in his temple to the glory of the Creator. Jocelyn believed that he was the chosen one of God, and he was entrusted with a great mission. He became obsessed with the idea of ​​building a tower and sought understanding from the «angels» who turned out to be his constant companions.

But the obsession and will of the abbot clashed with the rationality of others. Jocelyn’s idea was considered crazy: the temple has no foundation, new construction is impossible, and the tower, even if it can be erected, sooner or later will collapse. But Jocelyn is relentless: he stands his ground, like any fanatic, finds money, hires workers and, spoiling relations with all his acquaintances, begins construction.

Jocelyn himself will later say that pride spoke in him so. He unsuccessfully tried to humble her, first in the monastery, then in the temple. And then a “vision” appeared to him, and he believed that he was the chosen one, and must do the impossible, show the world a divine miracle. One can consider The Spire as a book about this pride that pushed a person to a crazy act. But it seems to me a little … one-sided, or something. By the way, you are waiting for the whole book when this tower collapses, but … (attention!) It never collapsed! Although it should have. But it’s worth it! And it is not known how much longer it can stand!

I see this tower with a spire, which is (suddenly) held together by the Nail, as a symbol of modern Christianity. And the Nail is a reminder of the crucified Christ. If we think like this, then Christianity really rests on the person of Jesus and on his execution to atone for all human sins. Jocelyn, the hero of The Spire, is in some way trying to become like Christ, wants to sacrifice himself to a miracle — an impossible tower — which will cause a surge of faith among local Christians. Perhaps he is driven by pride — but in Christianity, as in any other religion, this pride is enough, Jesus himself was forced to fight it, to say nothing of ordinary Christians, who are always at risk of falling into this sin and consider themselves «enlightened» on against the backdrop of stumbled atheists. Maybe Golding wanted to say that the institution of the church today is based not on humility and the wish for good, but on pride? That people go into religion, wanting to feel like a better person, “correct” in comparison with the rest? That this has long been a kind of therapy, the treatment of a spirit oppressed by failures, and not true love and humility in the face of the Almighty?

The conflict between blind faith and common sense is interesting in the book. It can be interpreted in any way. From the point of view of ordinary people, Jocelyn is trying to go against the laws of this world with her construction. After all, these laws are also from God. So why, you ask, break them? Jesus Himself in the wilderness said: “Well, don’t tempt God in vain!” But Jocelyn is sure that God told him to break these laws in order for a miracle to happen. Rationalism inevitably contradicts the mystical approach. In fact, if you think about it, God as the Creator does not contradict rationalism and science in any way. It is Jocelyn who contradicts God, because she believes in her «chosenness» for no reason whatsoever, and arbitrarily declares herself the creator of earthly miracles. If we consider the tower and the spire as a symbol of modern Christianity and the modern Church, then one involuntarily wants to ask: does not today’s Christianity contradict the original Christianity that Jesus brought to humanity? In this sense, the temple that Jocelyn is trying to rebuild is just the original Christianity, which, you see, is very different from what we are used to. And Jocelyn is building the tower as a «messenger of God», confident that it will attract new Christians, and make the old believe even more strongly. The tower remains, it is held up thanks to the Nail (the image of Christ), but it can fall apart at any moment, and it will fall apart so much that it will destroy the old temple to the ground. You did the best you can say. I think «The Spire», with its variety of symbols, can be interpreted as one wishes. The book is difficult to understand, it is easy to get confused in it, and you can understand it endlessly. Personally, I don’t regret reading it at all. At a minimum, it makes you strain your brains, look for and interpret allusions. And you shouldn’t demand more from the Spire.

«There was no nail — the horseshoe was gone, There was no horseshoe — the horse was lame, The horse was lame — the commander was killed, The cavalry was defeated — the army is fleeing, The enemy enters the city, sparing no prisoners, Because there was no nail in the forge!»

From the age of 9 I thought that Golding wrote nothing stronger than «Lord of the Flies».

That’s why I kept postponing The Spire until later.

At the age of 19 I read The Spire.

Ten years of delusion.

A very unusual and interesting book. In essence, there is no plot as such. Everything unfolds around the tower under construction. But the main character of the novel is Father Jocelyn. It is to him that most of the book is devoted, namely to his thoughts, feelings, memories.

So what is this Jocelyn like? A madman or just an arrogant person who believed in his own absolute righteousness and infallibility? In my opinion, both options are correct. Jocelyn is definitely out of her mind. Who would think of organizing the construction of a huge 400-foot tower with a spire, without thinking about the magnitude of the costs and the practicality of the idea itself? But Jocelyn is confident in his mission, in his destiny and God’s choice, and believes that the spire will reflect his holiness.
