The Early Christian and Byzantine architecture began in Rome and Byzantium between the 1st and 15th centuries AD. The basilica floor plan, consisting of a central nave flanked by aisles and an apse, became standard for Christian churches after Constantine legalized Christianity in 313 AD. Alternative centralized plans with circular or cruciform shapes were also sometimes used. Byzantine architecture focused on churches as symbols of faith, combining innovative structures with light and decoration.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

3. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Location
• The Early Christian and Byzantine architecture started in two
prominent locations centered at Rome and Byzantium or
Constantinople
• Early Christian architecture occurred in Rome and in areas
around Rome
• Byzantine architecture was centered at Byzantium
• From the two focal points Early Christian and Byzantine
Architecture spread to other areas in the European and Asian
region
4. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Period
• The following is a time line of events for the Early Christian and
Byzantine period:
• 29 A.D. Passing of Isa(AS) and beginning of Christian
Religion
• 286 A.D. Emperor Diocletian reorganizes the Roman Empire
splitting it into two; the Eastern and the Western part
• 313 A. D. Emperor Constantine recognizes the Christian
religion and adopts it as a state religion
• 324 A.D. Emperor Constantine reunited the Roman Empire
with a new capital at Byzantium
• 364 A. D. Rome finally splits into two; the Western and
Eastern Empire
• 476 A. D. Rome is sacked by Visgoth and Vandals
• 632 A. D. Muslim begin an advance on the Byzantine
empire
• 1453 A. D .Byzantium falls to Sultan Muhammad II ending
the Byzantine Empire
5. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Social Characteristics and Beliefs
The single most important social phenomenon of the early
Christian and Byzantine period was the spread and
acceptance of the Christian religion
During the period from the first century to the third century
after the death of Jesus, Christianity was a secret society
It was considered dangerous and subversive by the
government
Christians met secretly in tombs and private houses
Gradually, however, it spread and became widely accepted in
Asia minor and in Rome itself
By the third century, Rome had a population of 50,000
Christians
The religion was tolerated but it was still illegal
6. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Social Characteristics and Beliefs
The third century was for the Roman Empire a period of
political instability and decline
The Empire was split into a Western and Eastern Empires–In
A.D. 313, the Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan
making Christianity legal
He also adopted it as a state religion and he became the first
Christian emperor
The acceptance of the religion by the emperor fueled its
expansion
It also led to the early development of places of worship for
the new religion
Constantine was able to unite the Roman Empire during his
reign
He established the capital of the new empire at Byzantium,
renamed Constantinople or the city of Constantine
After his death, the Empire was again split
7. Architecture of the Period
With Christianity widely accepted as a state religion in Rome it
was necessary for architecture to respond to the demands of
the religion for worship space
Mode of worship was the most important determinant of the
form of the church
Requirement for church design was centered on worship and
burial
The requirements include:
A path for processional entry and exit of the clergy
An alter area, where the clergy celebrate mass
A space for the segregation of the clergy from the
congregation during procession and communion
Burial space
HISTORICALBACKGROUND
8. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Architecture of the Period
The focus of both Early Christian and Byzantine architecture is
on the Christian church
Before the legal recognition of the new faith, Christian places
of worship were of necessity inconspicuous with no fixed
architectural form
Early Christian builders adapted structures that had been used
in the Roman world
The basilica, consisting of a nave flanked by lower aisles and
terminated by an apse, was adopted as the standard structure
in Christian congregational worship
This was not however the only form adopted–More centralized
plans which were of round, polygonal, or cruciform shapes
were adopted occasionally
Martyria were erected on sites connected with certain events
in the life of Jesus and other places held to be sanctified by
the sacrifice of the martyrs
9. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Architecture of the Period
In such buildings the martyrium structure and basilica were
combined, creating a new formal synthesis of great
significance for Christian religious architecture
Development of the Christian church continued during the
Byzantine era
In the Byzantine period focus shifted from the rituals or
practices of worship to the building as an embodiment or
symbols of the majesty of the faith
Innovative structure was combined with light and decoration to
create fascinating interiors
10. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Basilica Church Type
The term early Christian architecture refers to the architecture
of the early Christian churches of the roman era
This is further divided into two types; the basilica church and
the alternative church plans
With Christianity accepted as a state religion in Rome and
expanding in influence, it became necessary for architecture
to respond to the space demands of the new religion
A building used for Christian worship had to provide a path for
the processional entry and exit of the clergy, an alter area,
where the clergy celebrated mass, a space for the segregation
of the clergy from congregation during the procession and
communion
11. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Basilica Church Type
The apse of the basilica
was used as a location
for the alter
The nave was used as a
sitting for the clergy
•Common people sat in
the aisles
The early churches may
have a courtyard or
atrium in front of it
A fountain is usually
located in the center of
such an atrium; This
was used for baptism
12. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Basilica Church Type
Most of the early
churches had clerestory
lighting
Clerestory windows
were developed to give
light to the central part
of the interior
Gradually, the clerestory
windows became a
symbol of the
transcendence and
grace of god
Variations in the
character of the early
church reflected
differences in local
resources and traditions
13. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Alternative Church Form
The rectangular basilica
was not the only form
adopted for the early
church
Alternative more
centralized plans, with a
focus on a central
vertical axis rather than
a longitudinal horizontal
one were also adopted
occasionally
The reasons for their
adoption is not very
clear
14. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Alternative Church Form
centralized churches
were of two broad types
There were the
completely circular
churches
These had a circular or
octagonal space
surrounded by an
ambulatory
Examples of these
include Saint Constanza
Rome, the lateran
Baptistery Rome and
Saint Stefano Rotondo
15. HISTORICALBACKGROUND
Alternative Church Form
The second type of centralized
church was the lobed or four-
lobed form set within an overall
pentagon or square
Examples of this include Holy
Apostle Milan and St Lorenzo
Milan
In the early years of Christianity,
the alternative form was
common both in the Eastern
and Western Roman Empires,
but later the Basilica Become
more popular in the West and
the centralized alternative form
more popular in the Eastern
Empire
