This period started from 1400 to 1600, it is known as the 'age of awakening' in Italy, France and England. This period was mostly taken place in Italy where they used ancient Greece and Roman techniques. Italian Renaissance master Andrea Palladio helped awaken a passion for classical architecture when he designed beautiful, highly symmetrical villas such as Villa Rotonda near Venice, Italy.
Andrea was known for his classic styles with 16th-century tastes, his main focus was on perfect geometries, rational logic and symmetry. He was like a superstar during those years, his book The Four Books on Architecture got really famous as well. He was translating the classical ideas of the roman and Greece time into buildings of the 16th century and this was no easy task as the surviving buildings were mostly temples used to worshipping pagan deities. To make this design 16th century he had to adopt the artistic philosophy of antiquity while leaving the pagan element behind.
Renaissance design received the unmistakable highlights of old-style Roman engineering. Notwithstanding, the structure and motivation behind structures have changed after some time, as has the construction of urban communities, which is reflected in a mix of old-style and sixteenth-century structures. The plans of Renaissance structures ordinarily have a square, balanced appearance where extents are normally founded on a module. The fundamental quality of the renaissance time frame was the exteriors, sections, pilasters, vaults, curves, windows, arches and dividers.
The exteriors are consistently even around their upward pivot and one of the main Renaissance veneers was the Cathedral of Pienza. They additionally acquired the Roman orders of sections like Composite, Ionic, Tuscan Doric and Corinthian, they would either be primary supporting or only for enlivening. Renaissance planners were intending to utilize segments, columns, and entablatures as an incorporated framework. One of the primary structures to utilize pilasters as an incorporated framework was Brunelleschi's Constructive Room (1421–1440). Vaults are regularly utilized during this period, both as a huge primary component noticeable from an external perspective and as a method for material, which must be found in a more modest space. Windows can be set two by two inside a semi-roundabout curve and can have square blades and three-sided or segmental pediments, frequently utilized on the other hand. Representative in such a manner is the Palazzo Farnese in Rome, which started in 1517. In the mannerist time, the "arm radian" curve utilizes a high semi-round top opening theme with two lower square top openings on the sides. Windows were utilized to give instances of carrying light to structures and homegrown design. Stained glass is sometimes present, yet it's anything but broadly utilized in Renaissance windows. At long last, the dividers of the external renaissance were made of exceptionally completed debris and block, for the most part, positioned on a straight course. The edges of the structure were regularly featured with provincial quines. Demonstrated after the Palazzo Medici Riccardi (1444-1460) in Florence, the cellar and ground floor are sometimes improved in a provincial style. The inside dividers were painted easily and the surface was done with white chalk paint. For more conventional spaces, the inside surface was by and large enlivened with frescoes.
