Christian architecture
The Christianity was appeared
sometimes during ancient roman period. It was illegal to be a Christian.
However, during the hopeless time of peasants’ lives, Christianity offered them
some hope that they would be able to have better lives, although it mentioned
for the after lives with god. As a consequence, Christian architecture at the
very early time, or you can say Christian “churches”, has to be secret
gathering places, such as underground tombs. Later, when the Christianity was
accepted, thanks to Emperor Constantine, the real Christian architectures were
started to build. Simplicity is the main concept idea for them, since at least
they didn’t have to hide anymore, to start with basilica churches. For example,
Old St. Peter’s in Rome. However, as the time passes, Christianity has
more rule along with new buildings technologies, simplicity seems to be
incorrect to describe another St. Peter which turned to the symbolic of not only
Christianity but also a significant church in Rome. Although the fascinate look
of the new St. Peter is obviously full of ornaments and priceless signature,
the basic elements from the very first Christian church are still exactly
there, from the Atrium that surrounded with Cloister then flowed by the
interior order of columns in old structure, Aisle, Nave until the end of the
Altar and Apse, where the high light if the church is placed.
