Risk Taking
When I read Brunelleschi’s Dome, They mention that the builders found a crack down the main surface of the building before they even built the first machine to lift the Dome materials into the air. And during the building of the tower in Pisa, the builders noticed the lean after adding the second level. What made Brunaleschi extrodinarly different is that he took risk, It implied danger, tension, and possible loss. But Brunelleschi looked at he the postive side of risk, the chance of hitting a big win. Without the risk that Brunelleschi risk taking,we would have probably developed the concept of linear perspective, and showing depth on a flat surface years later.He had made such a huge impact on architecture in the Italian Renaissance.
