The renaissance is a very famous period that we all heard about it. It is a period of many well-known artists and filled with hundreds of great creation. This period contains many precious paintings, sculptures and also many architectures that inspires many generations afterwards.
The early renaissance has a style that is very interesting which is the style of "Humanism". it is about studying and interpreting the human form and develop the idea into an architectural scale, human scale. The scale is not the only knowledge that develop from human, there is another style called "Anthropomorphism". This style focused on size and proportion of humans and then convert that knowledge into simple geometric shapes in order to become a system for a architectural design.
This new system of design gives the early renaissance's designs more possibilities and details to the design. Building's floor plan was created by using the combination of different geometry shapes that were repeated, rotated or re-sized in order to become a unique and more complex structure. Even though, the use of anthropomorphism is not just only result in building's form but it is also used for those ornaments as well.
In my opinion, I really think that it is a very interesting system that requires a really great understanding of human body and also a very creative and open-minded. The system not only just make buildings more beautiful but it also make them more accurate, systematic and well organized. It is one of a great development of architecture, from human to system, it shows a very important beginning of a new era when humans are connected to the architectural design not only as a user but also as a system. It is a system that really helps in designing greater and greater structures thanks to us.
