I may be wrong but I believe Brunelleschi had been building a foundling hospital at the time of the commission for the dome using the classical style. Not as impressive as the dome, but it employed classical proportions and design and went on to further influence the renaissance. Brunelleschi also worked on a chapel with similar a classical approach. The dome was an impossible feat, but his contribution to classical design in the renaissance was also immense.

I'm so glad to see this documentary once more, and with such good quality video! It's a fascinating study of what a person - even one with no prior experience - can imagine and make possible. Thank you so much for posting this - I'm delighted to have the opportunity to experience it again. :)

Absolutely incredible. Really goes to show how industrious a human can be when they put their mind to it.

MASTER BUILDER- HE NEVER WROTE ANYTHING ABOUT THE DOME ...AND THAT LEFT EVERYONE BAFFLED... AHEAD OF HIS TIME !!! ASTRID THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO...BLESSINGS MY QUEEN...

Thank you Astrid .

Unbelievably complex on a colossal scale! Amazing to say the least.

My history teacher mr.Goldberg made me watch this for an extra credit assignment I am proud to say it was better than I thought

The book, Brunelleschi’s Dome by Ross King (featured in this documentary ) is excellent especially engineering type like my self

[@TheKingsofFrance]

Extremely interesting. Ended up here after doing research on the Medici family. True genius.

[@JuPMod]

I never grow tire of watching this documentary. I can watch it over and over again without getting bored. It's very educational as well as very interesting to tell the story how Brunelleschi able to build this enormous dome without any support. It makes me wonder if someone should actually build a dome using Brunelleschi's methods to show it really can be done. :)

[@DerekECook]

I have similar feelings about Fifth Element.

Great documentary, thanks for posting.

Professor Ricci has the best experimental architectural method while the Spino- Peche is one the fact of the layers being offset into a spiral is Second the third is that each of the bricks are tapered so that the outer edge of the flat bricks are wider than the inner. This trapezoidal shape act in a fashion like keystones and being flat between the vertical brick, they lock each layer of brick firmly. So the plane of slip us counteracted as it is

[@walterulasinksi7031]

While the domes were being constructed, the finish fenestration of stone work and tile would have installed simultaneous in the process of the dome creation. Such a method would permit the protection of the dome structure while the daily / weekly construction could proceeded directly have the required drying time for the mortar.

Thank you so much dude. I did a presentation in "Technology" and this documantation was so helpfull! Sry for my english I´m from Germany.

@@VoluspaAstrid Very funny. Sometimes "dude" is gender-neutral, like "man," though. :) But, this person obviously did not look at your bio. Sehr schon auch. :)

[@riverwildcat1]

Stunning and exciting genius. Now we can understand better the powerful series 'Medici' on Netflix, and how perfectly they portrayed Brunelleschi and the effect the dome had on everyone at the time; a major driving force of the Renaissance.

[@duebreak]

I think that that video was really cool

[@flednanders7556]

I imagine that on many occasions, trusting guys like Filippo has lead to disaster, but that's the thing about gambling: the jackpot is out there.

[@user-to1bf7ph1r]

the fish spine pattern and the flower on the platform. Were these techniques applied to just the outer shell or both??

[@VoluspaAstrid]

Both.

Maybe that small dome uncovered under that parking garage is where...... he got the idea. 🤔 hmmm

He probably cast the dome from the ground bit by bit and hoisting it up.
