RR #8

During the 16th century many design and architecture ideas were flowing. While previously buildings were built to be tall and reach toward God and the heavens, buildings were now being built outward and asserting power. Yards and landscaping were also being introduced. Ornate bushes and fluid-shaped fountains were being brought in (and to quote Patrick about the Chateau Fountainbleu, "We got some squiggles, kids!"). Andrea Palladio democratized architecture and gave importance to the little people, or the domestic buildings and made them look just as important as the churches and palaces.
