Suger’s program aligns text, material, and ritual. Glass and gilded surfaces foster ascent — matter translucent to meaning. The choir is a studium in which devotees read with eyes, voices, and feet.
📖 Texts & Matter
- De Administratione: A blueprint for radiance.
- Gilding: Reflects light as glory.
- Windows: Scripture in color.
🔧 Implementation
- Budget & patronage: Align resources with vision.
- Craft guilds: Glass, stone, and metalwork in concert.
- Supervision: Abbatial oversight ensures coherence.
Program is theology translated into materials.
