For the enrich assignment I chose to research on "Architecture: Brunelleschi's design of the dome for Florence's cathedral" In my research I found that it is not exactly determined how the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral was constructed, but I did find that is was built entirely as a self-supporting structure. The builder responsible of this beautiful and fascinating structure was a man named Filippo Brunelleschi. Brunelleschi was known as a a short, homely, and hot-tempered goldsmith. He was very set on not only building one dome but two domes, and he refused to expose how he it would be constructed with the fear that his ideas would be stolen. The domes themselves were built from a herringbone brick pattern and curved motor beds. Brunelleschi
