| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Humanism (humanism) | enabling | 70% | review | Florentine humanist recovery of classical antiquity supplied cultural and intellectual context for the architectural return to classical elements, without being a physical construction prerequisite. |
|
| Arches and Domes (arches_domes) | historical_predecessor | 76% | review | Brunelleschi's classicalizing architectural language used columns, capitals, arches, and vaults, so ancient arch-and-vault forms are a historical vocabulary rather than a hard prerequisite. |
