What is "Renaissance architecture"?
Renaissance architecture is a style that emerged in Europe during the 14th to 17th centuries, marking a revival of classical Greek and Roman design principles. This style is characterized by symmetry, proportion, and the use of columns and arches, often incorporating decorative elements such as sculptures and painted wall art. Renaissance buildings often feature domes, pilasters, and large windows, creating a sense of harmony and balance. The focus is on creating spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, reflecting the ideals of the Renaissance, which emphasized humanism and the importance of art and culture in society.
