Summary:

Since 2005, CMRS at UCLA has been the administrative home to the St. Gall project. It is now a produced in three large volumes. The project's departure point is an extraordinary drawing of an ideal monastery, known as the Plan of St. Gall. Created in the early ninth century, the Plan is the oldest surviving visualization of a building complex produced in the Middle Ages, containing ground plans for some forty buildings, ranging from a church, monastic school, abbot's residence, and infirmary, to such mundane elements as a water mill, stables, and poultry houses. The project has been generously supported by grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
