This is one of my favorite NOVA episodes ever.

Wonderful documentary, very glad I watched it, also very glad that I have visited the great Cathedral during my lifetime.

I never grow tire of watching this documentary. I can watch it over and over again without getting bored. It's very educational as well as very interesting to tell the story how Brunelleschi able to build this enormous dome without any support. It makes me wonder if someone should actually build a dome using Brunelleschi's methods to show it really can be done. :)

I have similar feelings about Fifth Element.

Extremely interesting. Ended up here after doing research on the Medici family. True genius.

I may be wrong but I believe Brunelleschi had been building a foundling hospital at the time of the commission for the dome using the classical style. Not as impressive as the dome, but it employed classical proportions and design and went on to further influence the renaissance. Brunelleschi also worked on a chapel with similar a classical approach. The dome was an impossible feat, but his contribution to classical design in the renaissance was also immense.

great documentary, how amazing these beautiful buildings are. thank you very much for uploading.

Thank you Astrid .

My history teacher mr.Goldberg made me watch this for an extra credit assignment I am proud to say it was better than I thought

Unbelievably complex on a colossal scale! Amazing to say the least.

I'm so glad to see this documentary once more, and with such good quality video! It's a fascinating study of what a person - even one with no prior experience - can imagine and make possible. Thank you so much for posting this - I'm delighted to have the opportunity to experience it again. :)

You are welcome. Astrid .

Professor Ricci has the best experimental architectural method while the Spino- Peche is one the fact of the layers being offset into a spiral is Second the third is that each of the bricks are tapered so that the outer edge of the flat bricks are wider than the inner. This trapezoidal shape act in a fashion like keystones and being flat between the vertical brick, they lock each layer of brick firmly. So the plane of slip us counteracted as it is

While the domes were being constructed, the finish fenestration of stone work and tile would have installed simultaneous in the process of the dome creation. Such a method would permit the protection of the dome structure while the daily / weekly construction could proceeded directly have the required drying time for the mortar.

Stunning and exciting genius. Now we can understand better the powerful series 'Medici' on Netflix, and how perfectly they portrayed Brunelleschi and the effect the dome had on everyone at the time; a major driving force of the Renaissance.

Thank you so much dude. I did a presentation in "Technology" and this documantation was so helpfull! Sry for my english I´m from Germany.
