Summary:

Brunelleschi's buildings are designs are few in number; but they have significance which cannot be overlooked. He based his buildings on the late medieval Florentine tradition: simple, clearly structured, evenly lit spaces, which he aimed to give a more perfect shape through their strict geometrically proportioned forms, and which he simultaneously transformed through the very personal language of his all"antica motifs.
