Okay, so now that the window is up—where do we put the rest of the house? Architectural Course The name Renaissance, as applied to architec¬ ture, means a revival of classical features and de¬ tails, such as those exemplified by the Church of St. Spirito and Pitti Palace, both designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, the Florentine founder of Italian Renaissance architecture. Brunelleschi de¬ veloped the free style of architecture, while, at the same time, reviving the use of Roman architecture. In the above-mentioned church its creator used many techniques of the Byzantine period, tech¬ niques unusual for the architecture of his time. From Brunelleschi ' s era onward, the chief build¬ ings of Italy were identified by the names of their designers; previously, in Italy, the architects had been anonymous. Today, the Architecture and Building Construc¬ tion Course at Brooklyn Tech helps students de¬ velop drafting techniques, planning and designing skills and the ability to use modern building con¬ struction materials. The course is intended to pre¬ pare students to create, design and construct prac¬ tical as well as imaginative buildings. 29

Chemical Course The scientist of the Renaissance was character¬ ized by one outstanding quality—the courage to disagree with the scientific knowledge estab¬ lished by his predecessors. Such a man was Para¬ celsus, a renowned physician of the time. Shortly after being appointed to the position of Profes¬ sor of Medicine at the University of Basel in Switzerland, he defied all precedents and began his lectures by burning the books of Galen, the supreme authority on medicine in the Middle Ages. His career in medicine was ruined, but he had the courage to challenge the establishecL authorities and defend his beliefs. Reputed as the discoverer oHwdrogen, Para¬ celsus remains today aqreat man in the annals of scientific achievement. This valuable quality of searching for truth is instilled in the students of the Chemical Course under the direction of Dr. Louis Weiss. Through an extensive program of classroom study and theory, coupled with actual laboratory work in the major areas of chemistry, the student can hope to attain the knowledge and skill necessary for entering the industrial field or pursuing further studies in col¬ lege. 30
