In medieval architecture, rhythm is best perceived in monumental longitudinal spaces of basilicas where rows of piers or columns and vaulting shafts corresponding to bays form regular rhythm in the interior to which the same rhythm of windows and buttresses or flying buttresses corresponds on the exterior. The paradigm changes only when this regular rhythm is loosened and connected with a less rigid treatment of the existing tradition of cathedral construction as can be seen in St Vitus’ Lodge in Prague led by Peter Parler. The author presents this moment of the radically changed rhythm and order at the end of the 14th century in Luxembourg Prague and offer it for comparison with what was going on in music at that time.
