Abstract:
St. Lawrence's Church in Asheville was once a modest wooden building in 1868. At the turn of the century Signor Gustavino planned a new, larger, and more intricate house of worship. Gustavino designed the church on the medieval principle of cohesive construction which is based on gravity and cohesive strength of the material. Gustavino's other work included: the dome of Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, buildings on University of Virginia's campus, and Boston Public Library.
