Dear Authors of the article

Before publication in the article, I would like to obtain your consent. There are three papers: The correction of "Prehispanic Mesoamerican architecture". The introduction of the architect Josep Lluis Sert in the section on modern architecture. The introduction of a new section dedicated to Romanesque architecture. Is for this reason I am writing here. My usual language is not English. I would appreciate that before the publication of three works would help me in their adaptation to English language.

Prehispanic Mesoamerican architecture reviewed

Prehispanic Mesoamerican architecture reviewed

Olmos defends the golden ratio presence in some of olmec heads, at the Aztec calendar stone, and in several of Aztec home designs.

Between 1950 and 1960, Manuel Amabilis applied some of the analysis methods of Frederik Macody Lund and Jay Hambidge in several designs of prehispanic buildings, such as "El Toloc" and “La Iglesia de las Monjas” (the Nuns Church), a notable resort of buildings thermal constructed in the Puuc architecture style in Chichen Itza.

According to his studies, their proportions are concretized from a series of polygons, circles and pentagrams inscribed, as Lund found in his studies of Gothic churches. Manuel Amabilis published his studies, along with several self-explanatory images of other pre-columbian buildings made with golden ratio proportions, in "La Arquitectura Precolombina de Mexico".[16] The work was awarded the gold medal and the title of "Academico" by the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (Spain) in the Columbus day of 1929.

The Castle of Chichen Itza was built by the Maya civilization sometime between the 11th and 13th centuries AD, to serve as temple to the god Kukulcan. John Pile defends that its interior layout has golden ratio proportions. He says that the interior has walls placed so that the outer spaces are related to the central chamber by 0.618:1,the golden ratio. [17]

Josep Lluís Sert

For adding to Modern architecture

Josep Lluis Sert, Catalan architect and Le Corbusier disciple, applied the measures of the Modulor in all his particular works. Some of them are the Sert's House in Cambridge University or the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona.

At 1932 Josep Lluis Sert, collaborates at Paris with Le Corbusier. At 1939 Josep Lluis Sert starts working on the Plan Macià of Barcelona, with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret.

Also Josep Lluis Sert, built at 1961, with a Le Corbusier design, the Arts Center Visually Carpenter Foundation in Cambridge University.

New Section: Romanesque era

Dear Authors of the article.In reference to the “Gothic era”, I think it could be one section dedicated to the architecture that prevailed in Europe between the 900-1200, the Romanesque era, and another to the Gothic era, 1200-1500. The twelfth century makes the union between the Romanesque and Gothic.

The Romanesque architecture is a style of architecture which prevailed in Europe between 900–1200. The twelfth century makes the union between the Romanesque and Gothic. The split that existed between the conception of Romanesque and Gothic religious buildings can be understood in the epistolary between St. Bernard, Cistercian, and the Abbot Suger of the order of Cluny, the initiator of Gothic art in St. Denis. One of the most beautiful works of Romanesque Cistercian is the Abbey of Sénanque in Provence. The Sénanque abbatial was founded in 1148 and consecrated in 1178. It was initiated in life of St Bernard of Clairvaux. “La Lumière à Sénanque” (The Light in Sénanque), it’s a chapter of " Cîteaux : commentarii cistercienses " publication of the Cistercian Order. Its author, Kim Lloveras i Montserrat made in 1992 a complete study of the abbatial. He defends that the abbatial church was designed using a system of measures founded in the golden ratio. Also defends that the instruments used for its construction were the “Vescica” and the medieval squares used by the constructors, both designed with the golden ratio. The "Vescica" of Sénanque is located in the cloister of the monastery, in front of the Chapter, the site of the workshop.
