Today’s class was focused on the architectural makeup of both Colby’s campus and Italian cities. I enjoyed learning about the Florence Cathedral. When looking at and visiting Cathedrals, an important question to ask: is what makes this building holy? I oftentimes find the artistic elements to be a large contributor to religious awe of a space. For instance, the Florence Cathedral was designed in the 13th century and symbolized Giotto’s revival of the dome. This is a spectacular feat for the time period. The dome changes the architecture of the city, as this massive structure towers over Florence. Inside, the cathedral is equally breaktaking. While the ceilings are not filled with art, the scale of the building is very impressive. I intend to be more deliberate with my use of space in the upcoming exhibition.
