His Design would consist of two domes, one small Dome on the inside, and a larger dome on the outside. The first problem to overcome, was lifting all the materials up to the dome, so he invented a crane that was better then any other crane in the world. He strengthened the dome collapsing,
"In 1418 the town fathers of Florence finally addressed a monumental problem they’d been ignoring for decades: the enormous hole in the roof of their cathedral. " This sets the stage for Brunelleschi to become a hero and master artisan. Brunelleschi had spent his life learning, as an apprentice goldsmith, he had learned and perfected techniques that were well ahead of the training he was given. He studied other areas of art as well, "Brunelleschi’s life seemed to have been one long apprenticeship for building the dome of unequaled beauty, usefulness, honor, and power that Florence yearned for." He, along with other actual architects applied to be the one to put a dome on the cathedral, and eventually one out.
Filipo Brunelleschi challenged the accepted ideas in architecture when he went against traditional thought to construct the dome above the Florence Cathedral. His dome had no internal or external bracing, an idea thought to be impossible prior to this construction. Brunelleschi’s ideas incorporated Renaissance respect of past knowledge with the use of ancient mathematical concepts of geometry, which was in keeping with the humanistic return to ancient texts. The mathematical laws discovered by ancient Greek and Roman mathematicians also allowed Brunelleschi to accurately represent three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. Brunelleschi understood the importance of building on the knowledge of the past to create the future.
I studied about the dome that Filippo Brunelleschi built for a cathedral in Florence. The dome that he built for the cathedral had to span 150 feet across and was about 10 stories tall. This was built at the beginning of the Renaissance, so the early 1400’s. For the technology that was available at the time, it should have been impossible for him to be able to build what he built. Not only was the dome huge, but it also started over 100 feet above the ground on walls already built.
Human bodies played a significant role in the hunt for witches and other European religious struggles. Throughout Germany, the concept of witchcraft and the obsession to stop it was at its worst from 1550 to 1650. While older women were famously the targets for accusations of witchcraft, men and children were not exempt from the terror that was the witch hunt. As described in Roper’s Witch Craze, there were multiple known influences on this phenomenon that killed so many, such as religious instability and various aspects of the human experience. One theme that is prevalent is that of women, their bodies and how the two of the aspects influenced the idea of witchcraft and way society attempted to end it.
These all are incredibly complex issues that became muddled together resulting in a incomplete perspective on any of them. Therefore, the two major pitfalls of the novel are the lack of a depth in the early life of the president and the combination of multiple events in order to maintain chronological
Also, there was difficulty passing
Filippo Brunelleschi is important because he started a new era of architecture and engineering. Not only did the Duomo stray away from the normal Gothic style and contain a new classical form, it also blazed a trail for new technological advances. Brunelleschi is an artistic genius. Not only did he create a seemingly impossible structure, but he also made it a work of art. After 6 centuries, the Duomo is still considered the cities’ icon and greatest pride.
Michelangelo built many impressive structures, St. Peters Basilica was one of such. He was assisted by Donato Bramante, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and it is thought to be one of the largest churches in the world.

Sir Christopher Wren can be considered England’s greatest architect. His greatest architectural achievement is St. Paul’s Cathedral located in London, England. The cathedral was constructed between 1675-1711 in response to being destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666. St. Paul’s Cathedral is a rather exceptional building in terms of its uniqueness and historical context.
