This statement needs to be explained "In the Quattrocento, concepts of architectural order were explored and rules were formulated. The study of classical antiquity led in particular to the adoption of Classical detail and ornamentation" Without a definition and explanation of the rules the statement is meaningless.

"It seems certain, however, that while stylistically Gothic, in keeping with the building it surmounts, the dome is in fact structurally influenced by the great dome of Ancient Rome, which Brunelleschi could hardly have ignored in seeking a solution. This is the dome of the Pantheon, a circular temple, now a church.
"Inside the Pantheon's single-shell dome of brick and stone is coffering which greatly decreases the weight, while maintaining the strength of each individual stone."

THE ABOVE WIKI LINKS TO THE FOLLOWING:
"The building is circular with a portico of three ranks of huge granite Corinthian columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a pediment opening into the rotunda, under a coffered, concrete dome, with a central opening (oculus) open to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome."

Either the dome is unreinforced concrete, or it is brick and stone. Which is correct?
The section on Renaissance architecture in countries other than Italy is not in alphabetical order, but that does not mean that it hasn't been put in order.
Would people please read, note the dates, think about the information contained and stop changing this.

The date of the year that the pope arrived back in Rome and re-established the papal court is all that is necessary. The date at which he departed from Avignon has no bearing whatsoever on Renaissance architecture, which is the subject of this article. If a reader wants to know the details of those events in papal history, then they need to follow the links. Amandajm ( talk) 08:20, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
