•Brunelleschi was asked to design a grandiose church @ Santo Spirito to replace a small thirteen-century structure.
•The interior of Santo Spirito produces an impression of mass and majesty.
•The design and its architect had to struggle with pre- existing buildings.
•Brunelleschi ignored the complex vaulting systems and compound piers of late medieval architecture.
•Corinthian columns were used to portray simplicity and beauty. The modular structure at Santo Spirito is identical to San Lorenzo
•The only difference is Santo Spirito has a simple plastered facade while San Lorenzo remains a wall of unfinished masonry.
