The Beginning<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The word \u201crenaissance\u201d was derived from the Italian phrase la rinascita (meaning rebirth). <\/span>This term was first seen in Vasari\u2019s The Lives of the Artists (1550-1568). <\/span>The Renaissance style was recognized in the Italian term meaning in the ancient manner of (the Romans).<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Historians generally divide the Renaissance in Italy<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> as having three phases: <\/span>Renaissance (ca. 1400-1500) is also known as the Quattrocento or sometimes Early Renaissance, High Renaissance (ca. 1500-1525), and Mannerism (ca. 1520-1600). <\/span>Architectural historians, however, equate the awful economic conditions of the late 14th<\/sup> century as not being able to construct the fine buildings equated to the Renaissance.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

In the Quattrocento, concepts of architectural order were explored. <\/span>Rules were written and put into practice. <\/span>The study of classical antiquity led in particular to the adoption of Classical detail and ornamentation. <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The idea of space as an element of architecture changed radically. <\/span>In the Middle Ages, space was organized by an architect\u2019s intuition. <\/span>Many Medieval buildings reflect this. <\/span>During the Italian Renaissance, architectural space was determined by proportional logic. <\/span>Its form and rhythm was subject to geometry. <\/span>The prime example of this is the Basilica San Lorenzo in Florence<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> by Fillipo Brunselleschi.<\/span><\/p>\n
