| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Renaissance architecture is known for its emphasis on symmetry and proportion, while reviving ancient Greek and Roman architectural concepts. Beginning in 15th century Florence, Italy with Filippo Brunelleschi, many of the buildings commissioned during the Renaissance are still in existence today. This book looks at the works of three specific architects of the Renaissance era: Leon Battista Alberti, Donato Bramante and Filippo Brunelleschi.
