Brunelleschi's Dome Research Paper
Brunelleschi’s Dome
From this reading I have learned that there were many errors in the trial process. Brunelleschi needed to find a solution to the vast project of building the dome. He was an intelligent man but had to learn many new things as he tried to form a solution to his problem, “How do I make the world’s largest dome and not use Flying buttresses?” He was able to figure it out by putting hidden supports throughout the entire structure; they would be hidden by the masonry. This was the first time anything like this had been attempted, and it was a huge success. No one knew exactly what he has done for many centuries, and his innovation has been a long lasting achievement. His contributions were what sparked the renaissance movement
