193 Words1 Page

The exploration and discovery I chose was: Brunelleschi's design of the dome for Florence's cathedral the motivation behind the discovery was because no one could figure out how to create a dome for the cathedral. They held a contest to find someone to build it. Brunelleschi came to them and gave his idea they thought he was crazy, but they also knew that he had a reputation of making great things. They questions were, what do you use to build it? What is going to be safe for everyone? This dome was just the tip of the iceberg he also created a crane that was able to hoist heavy materials into the air. The significance is that there is another way to build buildings.

    I chose to research Brunelleschi’s design of the dome for Florence’s cathedral. From what I read, it seemed that Brunelleschi was motivated to create the dome, because of a competition. Whoever was successful was going to win money. Brunelleschi was a smart man and knew what needed to be done to create what he had in mind. He had to even create some of his own inventions to help him create the dome, because there wasn’t anything out there to help him.

    I chose to research the discovery of Uranus by William Herschel in 1781. William Herschel’s motivation for the discovery was his search for life on other planets, nebulae and double stars. He had no clue there could be other planets. Through my research, I learned that the discovery was an accident and misnomer at first, and that many people in the scientific community were needed to come to the conclusion that it was in fact a planet. William’s initial observation of the “nebula” was that its position moved a few nights later.

Brunelleschi had spent his life learning, as an apprentice goldsmith, he had learned and perfected techniques that were well ahead of the training he was given. He studied other areas of art as well, "Brunelleschi’s life seemed to have been one long apprenticeship for building the dome of unequaled beauty, usefulness, honor, and power that Florence yearned for."
