	Architecture of the Gothic
		In 1352-56, when the workshop was led by the twenty-three-year-old Peter Parler, son of the architect of the Gmünd Cathedral and previously the foreman (parlerius) at Cologne, the Prague workshop continued work according to the designs and drawings of Matthew.
		Parler's forms appear to be sculpturally modelled (probably because, unlike the architect-geometrician Matthew, Parler was also a sculptor and woodcarver); they are full of dynamics, inner tension, unexpected twists, and conflict.
		That is demonstrated by the return to the round "classicizing" forms of the column with the bell-shaped capitals and by Parler's bold vaults with pendant bosses in the sacristy, the ingenious design of the dome vault with the rotating crosses in the chapel of St Wenceslas, and the net vaulting of the choir.
