Document Summary
Donato bramante (1444-1514: artist (painter) turned architect. Better at painting, depended heavily on craftsmen for architecture: one of the greatest humanists. Rich + like to hire architects: exchanged ideas with da vinci, worked extensively with models. Worked on balancing space + structural necessity. Inspired by roman architecture: poch = thickness/ volume of walls, san satiro, milan (1482-) Chapel to be joined to existing new + large basilica. Wide nave + transept covered by barrel vaults. Ingenious approach: took a fixed view point at entrance + created a spatial illusion to provide the space with an idea of depth. Martyrium= memorial monument: rounded shape + dome. Tempietto= small temple, designed as a sculpture. 16 columns surrounding it: tuscan doric columns + frieze. Dense walls + deep niches requires poch . Strong reflection of antiquity (drum dome/ balustrade/ frieze) Based off specific geometries: st. peter"s (cid:894)(cid:374)ew(cid:895), rome.
