between the early 14th and early 16th centuries in different regions, demonstrating a conscious revival and development of certain elements of ancient Greek and Roman thought and material culture. • The basic design element was the order. PHASES/ PERIOD
• Renaissance (ca. 1400-1500); also known as
the Quattrocento and Early Rennaisance. • High Renaissance (ca. 1500- 1525) • Mannerism or Late Renaissance (ca. 1520- 1600) EARLY RENAISSANCE • Concepts of architectural order were explored and rules were formulated. • Architects used the ornate corinthian order the most. • Filippo Brunelleschi: one of the pioneers of this period. • One of his famous work is the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria Del Fiore in Florence. HIGH RENAISSANCE • Concepts derived from classical antiquity were developed and used with greater surety. • Simple and strong Doric was prevalent. • The best architect of this period is Bramante who expanded the applicability of classical architecture to contemporary buildings. • San Pietro in Montoro was directly inspired by circular Roman temples. LATE RENAISSANCE • Architects experimented with architectural forms to emphasize solid and spatial relationship. • Renaissance ideal of harmony gave freer and more imaginative rhythms. • Michelangelo Buonarroti considered one of the greatest artists ever. • Florence became acquainted with classical antiquity, which had enormous influence on his work. CHARACTERISTICS • Renaissance style places emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts as they are demonstrated in the architecture of classical antiquity and in particular ancient Roman architecture. • Orderly arrangement of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches replaced the more complex proportional systems and irregular profiles of medivial buildings. CARE AND MAINTAINANCE • To prevent exhaust fumes and wind- blown pollutants from entering, the windows are now permanently closed and an air conditioning system has been installed. The air near the ceiling is kept at a temperate level, while the air in the lower section of the building is cooler and circulates more rapidly, with the effect that dirt particles fall towards the floor rather than being streamed upwards. Bacteria and chemical pollutants are filtered out. FURNITURE STYLE • Reflects architectural forms and ornaments. • Carving fully expressed the spirit of the arts revival, had mythological, allegorical and historical subjects. • Cabinet makers began using walnut, chestnut and other woods instead of coarser oak. • High back chairs, X-shaped curule, marriage chest, cabinets, etc were carved, painted or gilded.
