Two popular shapes for places of worship during this time include: the "centralized church" which is circular and holds more people, and the "Basilica" which is in the shape of a cross. During this time the goal during construction was to"glorify god" by using the best materials to accommodate all of the people to worship.
Below are structural examples of the centralized church
Below is a little history of a worship place during this time period, and its symbolic relationship to the religion.
A more modernized centralized church is the North Christian Church in Columbus, Indiana, seen below.
During this time the furniture was very elaborate in design and carvings. It was also know that the people were not seeking more functional furniture, and most importantly storage was a necessity. Below is an example of an early christian piece of furniture with storage, and an example of something like it we may see today, a storage bench.
