'Brunelleschi had just the solution. To get around the issue, the contest contender proposed building two domes instead of one — one nested inside the other. "The inner dome was built with four horizontal stone and chain hoops which reinforced the octagonal dome and resisted the outward spreading force that is common to domes, eliminating the need for buttresses," Wildman says. "A fifth chain made of wood was utilized as well. This technique had never been utilized in dome construction before and to this day is still regarded as a remarkable engineering achievement.' Brunelleschi was not an engineer he was a goldsmith. AI will advance in the same way architecture did during the Renaissance. By those with the winning ideas not with the right credentials. https://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/architecture/brunelleschis-dome.htm https://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/architecture/b...
