Italian Renaissance Discussion

My classmate Flor describes the Italian Renaissance homes in detail.Walls were elaborate and rich with tapestry's that portrayed narrative scenes in the wealthiest of homes. Floors were elaborated with woods or tiles but rarely carpets. Ceilings were considered part of the architecture, beams, waffle grids and paintings were well thought into the design.

Another classmate John stated that the Renaissance was a time of "revival." A time where new ideas and points of view were being spread across Europe. John stated that the most similar idea to our discipline was the new focus towards design. There was less focus on the construction of grand churches, and more of a focus on residential dwellings. During this time, many individuals were skilled in many areas that people in today's society spend their entire careers mastering.
