Brunelleschi was a man before his time. He was simply a goldsmith and watchmaker by trade, but there was nothing simple about him. When he was a child apprentice he became skilled at drawing, painting, wood carving, sculpture in silver and bronze, stone setting, and enamel work. His natural curiosity, and dedication to observing the natural world led him to Florence for what would be his greatest achievement, the Dome of the Cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore.

The painting Prise du palais des Tuileries by Jean Duplessis-Bertaux depicts the Insurrection of 10 August 1792, when the Tuileries Palace was stormed by the National Guard and revolutionary federates. As the official residence of King Louis XVI, the palace was a royalist symbol and its defeat resulted in the fall of the French monarchy. An armed mob massacred outside the palace, leaving the royal family no choice but to take refuge in the Legislative Assembly building. Soldiers and civilians mustered in the Tuileries courtyard and engaged in a battle with the Swiss Guard, whose mercenaries were stationed outside in an effort to protect the building. Over half of the Swiss Guard was massacred, and the remaining few were imprisoned.

Dome of the Rock, an Islamic shrine built on Temple Mount in Jerusalem in 691, and the Church of San Vitale, a Byzantine church built in 547 in Ravenna, Italy, are two buildings of great importance to their respective religions, Islam and Christianity. Because both buildings have religious functions, they have many situational and architectural similarities to symbolize the importance of God and to create a connection between Earth and Heaven, yet because of differences in cultural history and transforming styles, the buildings convey religious messages through distinct architectural and decorative techniques. The Church of San Vitale and Dome of the Rock have similarly significant locations to reflect the religious grandeur of Islam and Christianity.

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.

Walter Gropius (Fig.1) was a German architect and the founder of Bauhaus; a German art school operated from 1919 to 1933 in Weimar. The institute was famous for the approach to design under the idea of creating a ‘total work of art’ in which all artistic medias, including architecture, fine art, industrial design, graphic design, typography and interior design would be combined. This style later became one of the most influential ideals in modern design. Gropius decided to leave Germany in 1934 and migrated to the United States, where he would build his own house with the principles he taught at the Bauhaus school, introducing the international, modernism style to America. The house resides on 68 Baker Bridge Rd Lincoln, MA 01773, USA.

Introduction Romanesque architecture started around 1000 to 1200 AD around the middle ages, extending from the decline of the Roman Empire until the begging of gothic architecture.

Unlike other styles it developed independently in diverse locations such as Italy, Spain, England and France. Its characteristics come from the ancient roman architecture that developed into bigger prettier and more complex constructions. However, there are different views in where it spread first as well as where it got more influence from.

The dome of the Pantheon was colossal, spanning 44 metres internally and the same distance in height. Brunelleschi would have taken great interest in how the Romans counteracted the Compressive and tensile forces exerted by a dome of this size. How did they counteract the Hoop stress that all domed buildings suffer from? How did they make the dome as light as possible to reduce this stress? Brunelleschi would have studied these domes in great detail.
