Renaissance

The three time periods that I selected as being similar to each other and using many of the same design traits and characteristics are the Renaissance, the Gothic, and the Baroque.  The most common and noticeable trait that all three of these buildings in three different time periods possess is that they all have pointed like structures near the roofs of them.  They all are very tall in size emphasizing that they wanted people to see and notice them making the particular building the most important and dominant.  Each of these buildings use the stacking method, making one clearly be able to see and point out the various layers of the building.  They all seem to copy the other by using the same color scheme, each have very dull and brown or tan colors.
