BP 6 Regions



Showing the Cathedral and surrounding
building to show warm colors from the rooftops.



In class on Friday our topic for discussion was language and comparing the language of Amiens, and Florence. I think region as a lot to do with how language is expressed and are shown through these two cathedrals. The views and beliefs are different depending on the area it is in. The people affect how the church may have been built, the environment and materials available may be a factor or the type of religion in that area. I feel as though the Florence cathedral had a dome as a place to all come together in one area as a reference to how Italians are. Italians are known for family and collecting for times of fun or worship as a whole. I believe this was built this way because of the region this cathedral was made in. Another example of region would be the color of the city surrounding the cathedral along with the cathedral itself. The roofs on all of this are warm colors. In my opinion it is because it’s near a body of water and on a peninsula which gives it that warm, beach feel. The region can affect many scenarios when building structures. France is a country of more elegance and people who think they are superior to others. I think the cathedral here was built the way it was because of the elegance France is associated with and because of the government. France used to have a King and Queen. I believe the church was built in this time based of the fact that the King and Queen gave it a rich and upper class persona. When you walk up to the cathedral it has a scary, intimidating feel to it in the sense of only the stuck up kind of people would feel comfortable because it suits their life style of big, elaborate, and importance persona. Amiens isn’t as 

 welcoming as Florence for example. Inside the floors of Amien look like mazes that are not able to get out of. I think this is because the region at the time wanted it to seem that if you were a higher class this wouldn’t intimidate you. France I think fueled of this during the time of King and Queens. On the other hand Italians for a long time have always been referenced to being one and having huge families. I think the cathedral there was built to welcome more people to be able to celebrate worship as one. Region has a lot to do with how not just cathedrals are built but homes, buildings, and other places to gather are built. I think it depends on the people who live there, how the persona of that area is. I believe it depends on how close to mountains,

 water, or other natural features these places are.
