explain? Do we know how Brunelleschi solved it?

--- Chapter 11: "Bricks and Mortar"

Brunelleschi devised a clever mechanism to keep the bricks from

that suggest where he might have gotten his ideas?

--- Chapter 12: "Circle by Circle"

For the second time, the author devotes a chapter to the circular
chains in the dome. He must think these features are important.
Speculate on why he doies this. Point to two passages that support
