INTRODUCTION

• It is the European architecture of the period

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.

 CONCLUSION
• Renaissance was a beautiful era which made us
look at art in a different way while maintaining
the traditional values.

rebirth of European interest in art, exploration,
and technology came at the best possible time in
history.
