Design responds to the need for a
light structure that avoids
buttressing systems. He uses a
double shell structure with eight
segments shaped like a pointed arch.
The double shell structure,
like the Baptistery of
Giovanni, has horizontal and
vertical ribs allowing it to be
light. The weight of the
lantern balances the dome.

Brunelleschi also solved the
problem of how to build the dome
without wooden centering
supports. He is credited with
inventing linear perspective, and
he holds the first-ever patent
for invention for a ship used to
transport building materials up
the river Arno,
The dome was built as a
series of concentric
layers, each of which
was structurally sound.
This avoided the need
for wooden centering.

How do you make a picture realistic? It
seems so simple to us now, but it was a huge
problem that took centuries to solve until Filippo
Brunelleschi figured it out.
Brunelleschi observed that with a fixed single point of view, parallel lines appear to converge at a single point in the distance. Brunelleschi applied a single vanishing point to a canvas, and discovered a method for calculating depth. In a famous noted experiment, Brunelleschi used mirrors to sketch the Florence baptistry in perfect perspective. He was able to mathematically calculate the scale of objects within a painting in order to make them appear realistic. It was a monumental discovery, and soon artists were using Brunelleschi’s method of perspective to astonishing affects in their paintings. Brunelleschi’s original perspective studies are long gone, but he directly influenced many others. The first known painting to show true linear perspective is Masaccio’s “The Holy Trinity”. In the fresco, a false room has been created on the flat wall of the church using perspective to simulate the architecture.

Brunelleschi's inventions
included mechanical devices that
allowed him to lift and move
