2. Renaissance

Renaissance architecture originated in Florence in the early 15th century. Architects of the time rejected Gothic style intricacy instead opting for a return to the simplicity and balanced-proportions of Roman classicism. Rounded arches and domes were revived and architects strived to create structures which would appeal to both emotion and reason. Buildings such as the Florence Cathedral and the Basilica of San Lorenzo prove that they succeeded in their ambitions.
