CATHEDRAL Saint Cyriacus of Ancona Romanesque Cathedral of Saint Cyriacus - Ancona (Italy) (1800 words) / Part I

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 3 (3.1) ASSIGNMENT (B)

The Saint Cyriacus cathedral is situated in Ancona (Italy), middle east on the Adriatic Sea. It is a church from Medieval period (its completion was on 1017) and more exactly is a Romanesque cathedral that melts with Gothic elements and Byzantine style, which is clear to notice on its plan and on its decorations. It is an important building because, it is both important for social and for political reasons; for social because from always, the church is a great point of aggregation center and also politically because the church, as institution, always have influenced the politics with its important role on the society. Saint Cyriacus rises on top of the hill on the sea and according to someone, before of its costruction there was an Acropolis of the Greek-Doric city, in fact inside the church there is an architectural transept which identify the temple of Afrodite.

This antique temple, had the same plan on when successively has been built the transept area in this actual plan. The foundations has been built in sandstone. During the 12th century Master Filippo guided some important works added a transverse part so as to create a Greek cross.

With this new plan and with some inlays the church became more closer to the byzantine style.

Also the dome has been changed, in the middle of 13th century with another one higher and in Gothic style but its flying buttresses were made internally to don't compromise its romanesque harmony. During the Renaissance period were built the choir and the two adjacent chapels.

In the chapel on the left worked Renaissance artists like Piero della Francesca with his frescoes, Giovanni Dalmata and Girolamo Ginelli. The facade is preceded by a wide staircase with the door portal that has a splay to still configure it in Romanesque style and the arch is supported by 4 columns, 2 front and 2 rear. The building around has a white stone of Conero and the main facade is in Greek marble. The dome is one of the most antique in Italy which represent some rare example of how a dome is installed on a church and not on baptistery. The plan is a Greek cross with three naves, the columns are roman with some of them which have byzantine capitals. In the middle of the cross there is a dodecagonal dome with tassels which were decorated with Byzantine figures and the flying buttresses are inside and not outside as it happens in Gothic buildings.

Choir

LOUNGE BAR New Design Scheme

Chapel of S. Stefano

High Altar

Crypt of the Patron Saints

Crypt of tears

For working on a new design scheme I decided to change the use of the cathedral and specifically the use of its left side. After ten steps of staircase we have the Crypt of the Patron Saints where I thought to change it in a lounge bar area. As described before the cathedral is in Romanesque style with Byzentine elements and decorations. I would like to keep some of this church and its period, as the floor and the columns in marble but I would change other things in Modernism, using chrome steel elements, glass and lighting.

Here you are some pictures of the Crypt

FURNITURE All the church/lounge bar is based on arches and dome so curves and circle then the furniture and all furnishings I have chosen from Bauhaus, have the same shape especially the lighting which is the exactly a dome. The rugs are circle too a little bit lighter than the floor which has been changed in black aredesia stone. The new floor and the rugs create a create contrast between dark and light

4 ELEMENTS Capital / Vault CORINTHIAN CAPITAL The Corinthian capitals in this Romanesque Cathedral are an unusual feature for this architectural style but here are one of the symbols of the presence of Byzantine details

FINE WOODEN VAULT The central naves are covered by precious wooden vaults with an upturned ship's bottom, typical of Venetian art; these vaults are painted with geometric motifs and date back to the 15th century STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 3 (3.1) ASSIGNMENT (D)

4 ELEMENTS Archivolt / Arcade ARCHIVOLT The Archivolt is an ornamental moulding or band following the curve of the underside of an arch. It is very popular as a sign of the Gothic Architecture so this is only one of the Gothic details present in this cathedral

ARCADE The arcade are a series of arches supported on columns with Corinthian capitols on top (in this case) and inside Saint Cyriaco are used to divide the naves and all the Greek cross plan STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 3 (3.2) ASSIGNMENT (D)
