brunelleschi's dome

Brunelleshi was a risk-taker and that made him a genious. He took a risk when he was waiting until the suspense accumulated for the building of the dome on the Cathedral of Florence, that was a risk because somebody could of taken his place. He also took a risk by giving up on sculpting it could of ended his career. Brunelleschi was a risk-taker when he was building the dome, even Cosimo (his commissioner.) doubted his genious plan to make an inner dome to support the outer one. The actions and decisions of people affect change when a person takes action, like Brunelleschi, nobody would have thought about the inner and outer dome theory if they didn't think it would work even brunelleschi had his doubts. He tried and he tried to figure out how to show that his theory would work. Eventually he found that to make an egg stand up you had to crack the bottom a tiny bit and that an eggs inner casing supported the hard outer shell from collapsing in. He took a risk doing this because the judges might not of thought that it was real and he was trying to trick them into giving him the job.This showed that Brunelleschi was prepared to take the risk of being humiliated once again. Brunelleschi's genious came from his risk-taking purely because he took a risk that not a lot of others did, think out of the box.
