Plan Church Excercise
The church has an attic facade and a plain language for the orders. Doric column order is visible on the first level which is with A-B-A-C-A-B-A rhythm. On the second level, there is a banded order with a Palladian window in the middle. Lastly, on the third level, there is the drum of the dome which has characteristics of a typical Raphael architecture.
The plan of the church is a Greek cross plan with an apse at the main altar. The dome is placed in the middle of the plan. The central plan is made with arches on pillars and has a continuous entablature. Interior is one single space that has simplified order pilasters. The church is influenced from Sant'Eligio degli Orefici.
The church has longitudinal plan with a portico. This leads us to that the church has a basilica plan with a main nave. The rhythm of the lateral nave is A-A-B-A-C-A-B-A-A. It has pilasters on pedastal with entablature and ribattitura. It has composite column orders as alveolata columns. The church has a diocletian window and a lantern above the altar. The church is influenced from Chisa di San Fedele in Milano.
Santa Spirito is a Roman Catholic church in Pistoia. It was built in the 17th century designed by the Jesuit architect Tommaso Ramignani. In 1668 Lorenzo Bernini designed the main altar. There are Corinthian pilasters and continuous entablature in the interior of the church. At the transept, arches sit on the pillars. The main nave of the church has A-B-C-B-A-B rhythm.
Sant' Andrea al Quirinale in Rome by Bernini is the reference point for this church.
The similarities of the facade are, the use of giant column order and smaller order which creates hierarchy. Santa Maria della Visitazione has the oval shape with longitudinal direction but in Sant' Andrea al Quirinale, Bernini used a transversal solution for the oval shaped plan. While in Santa Maria della Visitazione, architect repeated trilitic solution; in Sant' Andrea al Quirinale this solution was used only for the main altar. The rhythm inside is the same which is A-B-A-B-A. In the plan, while the entrance of Sant' Andrea al Quirinale located in shorter axis; in Santa Maria della Visitazione's entrance situated on the longer axis.
About the structure, the oval dome is similar but the dome is higher than the front facade of the Santa Maria della Visitazione, but in Sant' Andrea al Quirinale, the dome is shorter than the front facade.
