Brunelleschi's Masterpiece

Fillipo Brunelleschi had a lot of creative leadership but he hadn't gotten the chance at using all that leadership until a contest came up to finish building, what is now known as, the Cathederal of Florence. His leadership changed the way people in the Renaissance believed in what was crazy and what wasn't. When the dome was finally starting to go somewhere, the builders where to afraid to put any more bricks on because it was getting very steep. Brunelleschi took all of his creative leadership and started placing the bricks himself, proving to everyone that the building would not collapse on itself. Another reason that Brunelleschi's creative leadership changed the world, is when he first got the commission to build the magnificent dome. When no one believed his method would work, he took hold of the situation and said there would be a way to prove it. Stand an egg on itself. No one could figure it out but Brunelleschi crushed the egg a bit and the egg stood up.

The decision to make Brunelleschi to build the coveted Cathedral of Florence had changed the way the people during that time thought. No longer did people think there was only one way to draw or that buildings can be only made this way or that there might be something out there than just us. His action and the way to build the dome made people all over Europe gasp in amazement and as Florence became the most flourished city in all of Europe, everyone started getting ideas and trading new ways to construct something. Brunelleschi's creation had changed the world, for the better.
