Which type of arch was used to create a long open space inside Roman structures?
The Segmental arch was used first by Romans for long spans. The Romans figured out that arches need not be semi-circle but could be segmented for longer structures like bridges.
What technique made romes architecture better?
The Romans were first to fully appreciate the advantages of the arch, the vault and the dome. The arch has a strong lad bearing capacity and provides stability. The Etruscans invented the simple barrel arch and Pergamon invented the vault (adjacent arches which are assembled side by side) which has an even greater load bearing capacity and whose structure is also suited to support large roofs. The arches and the vaults came to be used extensively for the first time. They became essential for the construction of large scale buildings, to support large roofs and to build basements. They also used the arch to build gates, aqueducts, bridges which were much longer than before and could cross much wider rivers and valleys. They even managed to build a bridge across the lower Danube, which is a very wide river. If a deep valley had to be crossed, two or three piers of arches were built on top of each other to reach the desired height. The Romans invented segmental arch as they realised that an arch did not have to be a semicircle. The The Romans developed a new and much stronger type of concrete which was as resistant as modern concrete and also set underwater (this enabled them to build much bigger docks for ports). However, it was not as fluid as modern concrete and had to be layered by hand. The arch, the vault and concrete were what made the construction of such a massive structure as the Colosseum possible. Concrete was also used to build domes, public buildings, military facilities (forts and fortifications) warehouses, amphitheatres, circuses (racing tracks) temples and baths. Often the Romans used a mixture of stone, brick and concrete (for the Colosseum stone and concrete were used). The roman perfected the dome. The Pantheon (a temple which has been turned into a church) in Rome is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world.
How did baroque style differ from reformation art?
AnswerBaroque means 'absurd' or 'grotesque'. This term was used by people who thought that the forms of the classical buildings should never have been used in times after Greek and Roman periods. For, in baroque the classical forms were used, like in Renaissance and the mannerism.Actually, according to the text book "Music Listening Today", 4th ed., by Charles Hoffer, Baroque comes from a Portuguese word that referred to an imperfect pearl.The intention of baroque was to make the transitory life on earth special and beautiful. Symmetry was very important. Baroque was a heavy style; many swelling forms, excessive ornaments, wealthy and glossy materials (a lot of colorful marble, gilding and bronze). There were a lot of movements in the sculptures and paintings; angels flew, saints rose heavenward, people moved and fought. There were many ceiling paintings and paintings of crowds.Baroque has borrowed many things from Renaissance and mannerism, but there are certainly differences.* Differences between baroque and the Renaissance/mannerismThe classical forms were used soberly in the Renaissance, with especial attention on clearness and realism. Mannerism wasn't sober; there were decorative and complicated effects. Baroque churches were beautified with decorative and complicative effects, but were also very realistic. That was expressed in a new way. In painting the leading figures were put in the forefront. In the art of sculpture dynamic exercises were expressed with round forms and many details. There was much variety in composition and the bodies were very expressive. In architecture, there were heavy pillars, overlapping pilasters (flat, rectangular wall pillars) and deeply carved ornaments. Curved façades, oval ground plans and broken frontons replaced straight façades, rectangular or circular ground plans and simple triangular or segmental (part of a arc of a circle, cut off by a straight line) frontons.The arts of sculpture, painting and architecture became a completion to each other. In churches architectonics ornaments ran over in painted planes.Marked, turbulent colors and straight lightconstrast were often used.

Often the Romans used a mixture of stone, brick and concrete (for the Colosseum stone and concrete were used). The Romans also used columns to build temples and porticoes. The Romans built scaffolding around what they were building. They adopted the cranes of the Greeks and massively improved on them. The simplest one was the trispastos, which had of a single-beam, a winch, a rope, and a block with three pulleys. It had had a mechanical advantage of 3:1, and single man operating the winch could raise 150 kg. The pentaspastos had five pulleys and the polyspastos had a set of three by five pulleys with two, three or four masts. The latter was worked by four men at both sides of the winch and could lift 3,000 kg. When the winch was replaced by a treadwheel, the load could be doubled to 6,000 kg with only half the crew, because the treadwheel had a larger diameter and thus a much bigger mechanical advantage.
