Renaissance
“ Rebirth”
Revival of artistic achievements based on classical world.
‘Rebirth’ of classical Greek and Roman. The movement started in Italy.
During this era, people began to research the culture of the antique world.
The period was triggered by the increasing sophistication of the society, where economic growth, educational pursuits and political stability were key factors.
The limits of renaissance architecture was pushed by wealthy patrons such as Medic family of Florence, Pope Leo X and Pope Julius II
Characteristics
Building was looked upon as works of art. It followed traditions of middle ages that did not separate the structure from the decoration.
In situ construction hence harmony was given between the jointing and the architectural features.
Standardization of classic roman orders- Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian & Composite and its reintroduction both structurally and decoratively.
An art of free expression : Architecture became to a great extent a personal art due to the fancy of individual architects, many of whom founded schools of design.
A building was regarded rather as a picture with pleasing combinations of lines and masses
Symmetry and proportion
Appearance of building less in size than in reality due to the largeness and fewness of the parts used.
Towers used sparsely, if used occur symmetrically located.
Interiors planed on roman principles.
Ashlar masonry construction
Materials are large, and carry out the Classic idea of fewness of parts .
Gable end , formed as pediments either pitched or semicircular
Vaults are of simple Roman form
The Classic columns and orders were revived and used decoratively .
The principal cornice plays an important part in the style.
Mouldings produced an effect of horizontality.
Stained glass was little used
Sgraffito – coloured plaster was applied.
Efficiency in the crafts.

⦁ Italian Renaissance is divided into three periods
Early Renaissance (Early 15th century)
Includes the works of Brunelleschi & Michelozzo. The concepts of architectural orders were explored, rules were formulated & classical detail & ornamentation was adopted. Space was organized by proportional logic & its form was subject to geometry. Ex. Basilica Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence by Brunelleschi.
II. High Renaissance (Late 15th to Early 16th century)
Renaissance became an individual style in its own right
Purist or Palladian, where Roman tradition was held in high respect (represented by Andrea Palladio)
Proto-Baroque, where there was more confidence in using the acquired vocabulary freely (represented by Michelangelo)
Mannerist, where practices which had no Roman precedent were interspersed with the usual buildings. Eg: Bramante
III. Baroque Period (17th century)
Architects worked with freedom and firmly-acquired knowledge.
The building style of the Baroque era, begun in late 16th-century Italy, that took the Roman vocabulary of Renaissance architecture and used it in a new theatrical fashion, often to express the triumph of the Catholic Church and the absolutist state.
It was characterized by new explorations of form, light and shadow, and dramatic intensity.

The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

• beginning in Italy in the late Middle ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe.
•They exceelled in Architecture Dance Music Literature philosphy technology and warfare.
•Flourished in France Germany Italy England Netherland poland northern Europe and spain
•As a cultural movement, it encompassed a revival of learning based on classical sources,
•Traditionally, this intellectual transformation has resulted in the Renaissance being viewed
as a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era.
•Best known for the development of Art.
• Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term "Renaissance man".
2. Art & Architeccture
Renaissance art develoed highly realistic linear perspective.
The development of perspective was part of a wider trend towards realism in the arts.[31]
painters also developed other techniques, studying light, shadow, and, famously in the case of
Leonardo da Vinci, human anatomy.
development of painting in Italy, both technically with the introduction of oil paint and canvas, and
stylistically in terms of naturalism in representation.
In architecture, Filippo Brunelleschi was foremost in studying the ancient Classical buildings
and with rediscovered knowledge from the 1st-century writer Vitruvius and the
flourishing discipline of mathematics, formulated the Renaissance style which emulated and improved
on classical forms.
Brunelleschi's major feat of engineering was the building of the dome of Florence Cathedral.[34] The first
building to demonstrate this is claimed to be the church of St. Andrew built by Alberti in Mantua.
The outstanding architectural work of the High Renaissance was the rebuilding of St. Peter's Basilica,
combining the skills of Bramante, Michelangelo, Raphael, Sangallo and Maderno.
The Roman orders types of columns are used: Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite. These
can either be structural, supporting an arcade or architrave, or purely decorative, set against a wall in the
form of pilasters.

4. Characteristics of Renaissance architecture
Raphael's plan for St. Peter's Basilica.
the earliest buildings of the reborn Classicism were churches of a type that the Romans had never
constructed. Neither were there models for the type of large city dwellings required by wealthy
merchants of the 15th century. Conversely, there was no call for enormous sporting fixtures and
public bath houses such as the Romans had built. The ancient orders were analysed and
reconstructed to serve new purposes
Sant'Agostino, Rome, Giacomo di Pietrasanta, 1483
Plan
The plans of Renaissance buildings have a square, symmetrical appearance in which proportions
are usually based on a module. Within a church the module is often the width of an aisle.. The
development of the plan in secular architecture was to take place in the 16th century and
culminated with the work of Palladio.
5. Facade
Façades are symmetrical around their vertical axis. Church facades are generally surmounted by a
pediment and organized by a system of pilasters, arches and entablatures. The columns and
windows show a progression towards the center. One of the first true Renaissance facades was the
Cathedral of Pienza (1459–62), which has been attributed to the Florentine architect Bernardo
Gambarelli (known as Rossellino) with Alberti perhaps having some responsibility in its design as
well.
Domestic buildings are often surmounted by a cornice. There is a regular repetition of openings on
each floor, and the centrally placed door is marked by a feature such as a balcony, or rusticated
surround. An early and much copied prototype was the façade for the Palazzo Rucellai (1446 and
1451) in Florence with its three registers of pilasters
`

6. Columns and PilastersThe Roman orders of columns are used:- Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian
and Composite. The orders can either be structural, supporting an arcade or architrave, or purely
decorative, set against a wall in the form of pilasters. During the Renaissance, architects aimed to
use columns, pilasters, and entablatures as an integrated system. One of the first buildings to use
pilasters as an integrated system was in the Old Sacristy (1421–1440) by Brunelleschi.
ArchesArches are semi-circular or (in the Mannerist style) segmental. Arches are often used in
arcades, supported on piers or columns with capitals. There may be a section of entablature
between the capital and the springing of the arch. Alberti was one of the first to use the arch on a
monumental scale at the St. Andrea in Mantua.
VaultsVaults do not have ribs. They are semi-circular or segmental and on a square plan, unlike
the Gothic vault which is frequently rectangular. The barrel vault, is returned to architectural
vocabulary as at the St. Andrea in Mantua.
7. Domes
The Dome of St Peter's Basilica, Rome. photo- Wolgang Stuck, 2004
The dome is used frequently, both as a very large structural feature that is visible from the exterior,
and also as a means of roofing smaller spaces where they are only visible internally. Domes had
been used only rarely in the Middle Ages, but after the success of the dome in Brunelleschi’s design
for the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore and its use in Bramante’s plan for St. Peter's Basilica
(1506) in Rome, the dome became an indispensable element in church architecture and later even
for secular architecture, such as Palladio's Villa Rotonda.[12]
Ceilings
Roofs are fitted with flat or coffered ceilings. They are not left open as in Medieval architecture.
They are frequently painted or decorated.
The Dome of St Peter's Basilica, Rome
Doors
Doors usually have square lintels. They may be set within
an arch or surmounted by a triangular or segmental pediment.
Openings that do not have doors are usually arched and
frequently have a large or decorative keystone.
8. Windows
Windows may be paired and set within a semi-circular arch. They may have square lintels and
triangular or segmental pediments, which are often used alternately. Emblematic in this respect is
the Palazzo Farnese in Rome, begun in 1517.
Courtyard of Palazzo Strozzi, Florence
In the Mannerist period the “Palladian” arch was employed, using a motif of a high semi-circular
topped opening flanked with two lower square-topped openings. Windows are used to bring light
into the building and in domestic architecture, to give views.
9. Walls
External walls are generally of highly-finished ashlar masonry, laid in straight courses. Basements
and ground floors were often rusticated, as modeled on the Palazzo Medici Riccardi (1444–1460) in
Florence. Internal walls are smoothly plastered and surfaced with white-chalk paint. For more
formal spaces, internal surfaces are decorated with frescoes.
Details
Courses, moldings and all decorative details are carved with great precision. Studying and
mastering the details of the ancient Romans was one of the important aspects of Renaissance
theory. The different orders each required different sets of details. . Sculptured figures may be set in
niches or placed on plinths. They are not integral to the building as in Medieval architecture.
